Okay, I agree with your take from an adult point of view. But let's look at it this way...as a kid my hero was Robin Yount. In fact, I still have a room that halls walls dotted with Yount memorabilia - so I thought, what if this had happened to Yount back in say, 1987? I would have been devistated. Sosa was a guy that was many kids' hero, and now he's blown that, and for what? Worse, I think these kinds of incidents, especially from a guy that was SO high profile, really cause kids to get jaded. That's what makes me so sad about all this.
