John Rocker's view of 1998

Not the greatest pitching form, but John Rocker
did have some really good seasons in 1998 and 1999
Former Atlanta Brave closer (and 'Survivor' contestant) John Rocker was a rookie in 1998, and recently defended the Steroid Era in an interview...

"I think it was the better game. At the end of the day when people are paying their $80, $120 whatever it may be, to buy their ticket and come watch that game, it’s almost like the circus is in town. They are paid to be entertained. They wanna see some clown throw a fastball 101 mph and some other guy hit it 500 feet. That’s entertainment. You’re paying to be entertained.
“And was there anything more entertaining than 1998—I don’t care how each man got there—was there anything more entertaining than 1998?…Watching Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire chase 61 home runs?”
