In the last 5 years the growing popularity and use of illegal substances like steroids in major league baseball has created a public outcry and led to
indictments
http://www.redskinsfansprostore.com/Black-Doug-Williams-Redskins-Jersey.html?cat=863 , arrests and congressional hearings. Some have even put major league baseball on
par with professional wrestling as it is now a drugged or juiced game and old,
lasting records by the greats like Ruth and Hank Aaron can easily be broken by
lesser athletes on steroids and have become meaningless. Just look at Barry
Bonds for an example. Barry Bonds became depressed in the late 90s as new
athletes like McGwire and Jose Conseco were becoming more popular for belting
homeruns. Bonds was a great athlete, but he was aging and just like his father
was headed for retirement. Bonds and everyone else knew that Conseco and the
others were taking steroids. It was inevitable that Bonds would start taking
steroids as he was very jealous and had an insatiable appetite for being the
leader, he could not stand being in second place to anyone and he saw the great
results of McGwire and Conseco. Barry Bonds started taking numerous types of
steroids through his trainer Greg Anderson. His physique, career and baseball
would never be the same. Bonds was better after the steroids than anytime in his
career. The steroids had elevated his career and possibly made him the best
player in baseball history as he has now hit 722 career home runs. Only a few of
the greatest players in Baseball history have ever hit into this range. It is
similar to what Tiger Woods has done in Golf and his chasing Jack Nicklaus with
his 18 career major titles. The difference is that Tiger Woods is a real
champion and does not use illegal enhancers or drugs like steroids or cheat in
any way. Kids can look up to him as a real hero. Tiger Woods worked and trained
very hard, he is also human as he went through a lot dealing with the loss of
his father. Tiger woods through his great game and ethics has elevated
professional golf and its fan base to all time highs. Barry Bonds, on the other
hand
http://www.redskinsfansprostore.com/Black-Dexter-Manley-Redskins-Jersey.html?cat=913 , has devastated major league baseball and its rich history. Records are not meant
to be broken on a daily or monthly basis. Records are just that records of
greatness, by actual heroes like Joe DiMaggio, Ruth, Shoeless Joe Jackson, Hank
Aaron, Mickey Mantle and Ty Cobb. They never used steroids and were great
players both on and off the field. What every professional athlete needs to
understand is that our kids see them as idols, heroes and mentors. Its not about
the money
http://www.redskinsfansprostore.com/Black-DeSean-Jackson-Redskins-Jersey.html?cat=892 , its about the game. Ninety nine percent of professional athletes never become a
great like Rod Carew, Michael Jordan, or Warren Moon, but they are all imprinted
in our children. Everyone remembers the negatives like McEnroe and his emotional
outbursts, Rae Caruth and O.J. Simpson whom have abused the legal system and
their fame to commit murder, steroids, gambling and the expulsion of baseball
legend Pete Rose. The leaders of these professional sports must soon realize
that these players have tainted and in some respects ruined the future of sports
like major league baseball. To see immediate evidence of this all one has to do
is look at the dwindling number of visitors to the baseball hall of fame in
Cooperstown
http://www.redskinsfansprostore.com/Black-Derek-Carrier-Redskins-Jersey.html?cat=886 , NY. It used to be almost every young boys fantasy to see the outfit worn by Babe
Ruth, the Ball that was signed by Reggie Jackson and his Yankee teammates, the
stories of greatness and great hurdles and obstacles that were overcome by some
of the legends. Rare baseball cards by players with strict standards like Honus
Wagner whom had his cards pulled as he did not want to be associated with
cigarettes and tobacco. The meaning of baseballs rich history has greatly
suffered and will continue until something drastic is done. Athletes like Barry
Bonds that cheat and use illegal performance enhancing drugs should be banned
and immediately removed from baseball and other sports. They should receive
punishment worse than Pete Rose and should be stripped of all records, titles,
and history in the game. Let someone who worked hard, overcame adversity and
great obstacles, and never cheated and had great ethics
http://www.redskinsfansprostore.com/Black-DeAngelo-Hall-Redskins-Jersey.html?cat=871 , standards and was a true hero be the one to determine their fate. Someone like
Hank Aaron. Hank Aaron set records, great records, the hard way and they are
being tarnished by the likes of Barry Bonds and others. Hank Aaron, like
Herschel Walker, overcame a very poor upbringing, racism, lack of resources and
through sheer determination became one of the greatest athletes ever. It is time
to stop the commercialism and get back to the basics of these sports. We have
forgotten what the game really means. There is a reason why in Brooklyn they
still remember the Brooklyn Dodgers. Lets not let the great game of baseball be
ruined by people like Barry Bonds. They must be removed from the game
http://www.redskinsfansprostore.com/Black-David-Bruton-Redskins-Jersey.html?cat=899 , their history completely wiped out and start anew. This is the only way to
retain or rescue the image of professional baseball. Author's Resource Box David
