And the hypocrisy of professional sports lives on. Â Former San Francisco Giants now Toronto Blue Jay received his World Series ring while the Blue Jays are in town to play a two game series. Â Cabrera served a 50 game suspension during the season for using performance enhancing drugs and did not play in any postseason game. However, he is still recognized as a champion; so in the end using steroids and cheating really does not have any consequences.
His teammates did go over to Cabrera including manager Bruce Bochy. Â Cabrera was given the ring by Bochy privately, but he did thanks his teammates and the fans. Â While the rule is that anyone who is on the roster from Day 1 gets a ring, it is unjustified that someone who cheated should get one. Especially one who did not play a single minute of the postseason. Maybe if there was actual punishment for cheating, players would reconsider doing it. Cabrera is DHing tonight and batting lead off.
