Jeter Disappointed
Derek Jeter on the steroid era:
Jeter said the most frustrating thing about all of this is how people are labeling several years in baseball the "steroid era". Jeter said he was never tempted to use, was never approached about using it.
"Everybody wasn't doing it," Jeter said.
It was a lot better when it was the lively ball era.

If Jeter doesn't want this period of baseball being labeled the "Steroid Era", then perhaps he should have yanked the syringe out of his good friend A-Rod's buttcheek. Just like we all hear rumors at our own jobs, I suspect even the players who didn't use roids are guilty of, at least, having a heavy suspicion of their teammates doing it but; choosing to keep their traps shut about it -- until now, of course. I'm getting tired of this high and mighty attitude.
Wasn't tempted? Was never approached about using?
Sounds familiar... gee, didn't A-Rod say the same thing to Katie Couric a couple years ago?
I'm not saying Jeter was a user. I'm saying that this is the point we have reached: nobody in baseball (including many of the media --HOF'er Peter Gammons, come on down! -- who ignored the problem for over a decade) has any credibility. The most conspicuous truth-teller of the Steroid Era: Jose Canseco. How ridiculous. How sad.
