This guy had more chances than Zsa Zsa had husbands. I'm not sure who disgraced the game more, Howe, or the baseball executives who kept letting him play.

Sure he did drugs multiple times and violated the rules aplenty. Who knows why baseball gave him multiple chances. I also think he dishonored himself and the fans who paid to watch these games.

I have to agree with Eschew's sentiment. The four stars is not just for Steve Howe, but for major league baseball which let him back in seven times.

Another new verb for Americans. When someone habitually breaks the rules and the appropriate authority doesn't have the gonads to make a punishment stick (or effective), they Howe him.
