Diamond in the rough
Cartoonists jumped on the 'roid revelations like Hank Aaron on a hanging curve. WHAP! BIFF! SMACK! read the cartoon balloons. The "say it ain't so" panels were so-so, and we wore the cover off the asterisk jokes. We struck out at baseball, mom, apple pie,...Tags: Politics, Entertainment, Baseball, Sports, Major League Baseball

Pulitzer Polka
