Steriods have almost taken over the game of baseball to the point that many don't even want to watch or participate in any way with MLB. I am saddened by the stupidity of the players who thought they could get away with taken steriods, but at the same time, I understand their need to want to be the best at their profession.
A-Rod's excuse and the way he presented it...was sad. It showed that he was still trying to cover up and not tell the truth. But that goes for all the players...just tell the truth and get it over with!
MLB needs to set a standard that if you get caught taking anything illegal to enhance your body/playing ability, you need to be suspended from baseball for at least a season if not two or three...that would stop these players and would probably bring about reasonable salaries for players and give up and coming players a much better chance of making it to the "Game".
Thankfully, for the past few years a group of players who haven't been drugging to make it are slowly taking over, and that's why it's so important we support our minor league and independent pro teams around this country.
Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, Don Drysdale, Roberto Clemente, Sandy Koufax, Ozzie Smith, Yogi Berra, Jackie Robinson...these guys and so many more who played this game with their heart and soul...that's what this game is about.
