Cheating Your Way to Fame

Mark McGwire has apologized to Mrs. Roger Maris for cheating his way to breaking Maris' home run record. An apology isn't enough -- they ought to have a ceremony to rightfully restore Maris' record to him. Greg Cote writes,

"McGwire puts the first syllable in asterisk, and that disclaimer (*) must now attach itself to the player's artificially enhanced accomplishments -- to an entire career that can only be seen as fraudulent to at least a significant degree."
