This.
Plus removing Sean's name or players isn't trying to act like it never happened. It's saying that the accolades were not earned in a moral and ethical way and therefore he should not get credit.
It's why I suggest leaving the team logos up on the blog, but removing Sean's name. In the least, I feel his credit for the championships should be vacated. With the players, I can see the point to removing or keeping them. That personal player's legacy didn't undoubtedly mean another player couldn't make the HOF.
However, his actions directly influenced division titles and playoff results. Many, many teams lost out on potential playoff appearances or even world series victories? Like I stated above, I don't think there's enough concern over his run with the Cubs, so I would keep those titles as-is. He didn't have the factory of players having massively extended careers with the Cubs as he did with the Angels.
