I read Ball Four! Great book! I also read Baseball Cop, Game of Shadows, The Rocket That Fell To Earth, and probably another 200 baseball related books over my lifetime. There is a difference between performance maintaining, and performance enhancing. Should we throw Joe DiMaggio out of the Hall because he drank an inordinate amount of coffee for the caffeine rush? Also, being a racist or a drunk NEVER helped a player hit the ball farther or run faster. The integrity I speak of is regarding the outcome of the games, not the players playing it. Unless and until a player influences the integrity of the game I have no concern with him as a person. The man up stairs will sort that one out.
