'That Rafael Palmeiro's steroid use was known before his 3,000th hit and not announced makes me wonder how many other baseball stars are being protected.--Frederick Kranz, Spring Hill, Fla.'
* It's a shame players juice themselves up to attain personal milestones that are meaningless and tainted.--Jeannine Rippa, New York City
* Last year, TSN named Eagles safety Brian Dawkins the NFI's hardest hitter for one reason--he is! Leaving Dawkins out of an article about who and what receivers fear most about going over the middle (TSN, August 5) was a big mistake.--Rick Paton, Philadelphia

* Ryne Sandberg might be one of the last guys who was just a ball player to gain entry into the Hall of Fame. How lucky I was to be a real fan before those players became an endangered species.--Jerry Pritikin, Chicago
* I would elevate the Eagles' Todd Pinkston to the top of the "least courageous" receivers list (TSN, August 5). Granted, he has made a few more plays than the player ranked No. 1, Freddie Mitchell, and is a legitimate deep threat, but I've never seen a guy more afraid of getting hit.--Dan McGrory, Wilmington, Del.
* As the NASCAR Cup championship comes down to a 10-race Chase to crown the top driver and team, the Chase should represent all of the types of tracks that make up the schedule (TSN, July 15). I understand NASCAR had room to grow, but building a bunch of tracks that are the same seems to be driven by dollar signs instead of quality racing.--Kevin Blehl, Brick, N.J.
