How astonishing that, out of 135 years of major league baseball, Simmons just happened to pick his own college years as being the most "pure." What a coincidence.

On the plus side, he did manage to make it through an entire column without talking about "Boogie Nights" or "Teen Wolf." So I guess that's a bonus.

Roids and coke were not available in North American during that time period.
