Editor, Daily News:
As baseball's latest drug/steroid scandal unfolds, it is quite telling that Fort Myers Miracle manager Kevin Boles refused to comment on the issue, hoping to avoid putting baseball in a negative light.
It brings to mind a spring training interview one or two years ago with Red Sox manager Terry Francona.
When asked about a (now) long-forgotten scandal, Francona claimed to never see any evidence of drug/steroid use in decades of big-league clubhouse life.
Unfortunately, this "See no evil, Hear no evil, Admit no evil" attitude by people at all levels of management, and all levels of all organizations, is exactly why the game is now such a mess.
The league that had the nerve and foresight to confront their demons decades ago was the NFL. It is also one of the reasons why football is our new national pastime and baseball fans will forever be condemned to looking back at the good old days.
