Now I agree that these are things that Ruth and Aaron never had access to, but then again in their day you couldn't tear your ACL and come back or have Tommy John surgery and resume your career after a ligament injury. So using that logic we should delete everyone who has ever had ligament surgery from the record books also.

Murder, selling heroin, and arson aren't against baseballs rules either ... they are however illegal. At the time steroids might not have been against baseballs rules but they were illegal drugs.
If you or I can be arrested for something in the real world, OBVIOUSLY they are illegal.
