I quit caring a long time ago. Now days anything the media has a say in is worthless. Many writers voted against Curt Schilling because of his political beliefs. Also consider, many ballplayers in the 60’s took amphetamines.
Amphetamines did not become illegal until 1970 — not sure what MLB policy was prior to that though the Rolling Stones did have a song about them in Mother’s Little Helper.
