Apparently you can get CTE without ever having played football.

Are you going to put asterisks by Reggie Jackson, Mickey Mantle, Willie Aikens and Tim Mccarver, since they have all been linked with use of amphetamines and other stimulants?

"We agree wholeheartedly; it's a shame when someone wins something they don't deserve, especially when they shouldn't even be in the competition."

In a perfect world, there would be real, non-batshit crazy evidence that MLB colluded with the Yankees to railroad A-Rod. Bud Selig would go down in flames like an evil, leathery Hindenburg and we would all cheer lustily from the comfort of our living rooms.
