And the hypocrisy of professional sports lives on. 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. 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. Cabrera was given the ring by Bochy privately, but he did thanks his teammates and the fans. 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.
