The point is, America has gotten far beyond the point of being so naive about its national pasttime as to believe that its players are moral paragons. We know they cheat, we sort of hope our favorites don't, but we watch them anyway. I don't think there's a name on that list that shocked anyone, and if there is, there shouldn't be.

Besides that, it's fascist.

I'm actually surprised that the list is rather short. I have expected the number of names to be a lot more.
I'm pretty sure the list isn't comprehensive, just the names that he felt confident could be proven. I'm sure many more players could have been named but the evidence wasn't as strong.
