Asterisk or Deletion of Stats?

With Giambi coming out and saying he juiced, Bonds linked to 'roids and Ken Caminiti admitting he took the stuff, the records, awards and accomplishments these players and any who received steroids should be wiped out. Simply put: Hank Aaron hammered the baseball for years, many longer than modern day players will play and did with quick wrists. Jim Rice's 78 season's 46 and 139 were done with wrists. Teddy Ballgame hit all his homers on practice, hard work and talent. The point? Those guys and people like Ruth, Mantle, and Mays did all their damage in era's where there were less teams which in turn meant better pitching. Todays players could easily jack 50-60 homers without performance enhancers due to the watering down of pitching staffs. Most staffs today are lucky to have a #3 who's servicable. Drop the juice and pick up the bats. The records should wipe dout or there should be a note that says "cheater" next to their names. Fans want to see homers. Casual fans love to see records fall. People who worship the game and love the purity and games within the game love baseball. Pure and simple baseball. No drugs, no b.s. Just talented atheletes who work hard to accomplish their goals. Giambi, Sosa, and Bonds have done neither.
