100. I find it terribly amusing...
that people want to deify players from the past. Babe Ruth and Ty Cobb and many of the other greats of the past were EXTREMELY competitive human beings. You have to be to get to the top. Who knows what they would have done faced with the option of today's performance enhancing drugs. Human nature is such that at least SOME of them would have willingly bent over for the needle.
