Baseball Steroid Era
Driving home today I was listening to sports talk radio and they were talking about steroids and the suspects that were still playing in the major leagues. While I am tired of hearing about steroids and baseball, I just wanted to weigh in my opinion on this subject.
Baseball is entertainment!!! There is nothing ever life changing that has happened in the game of baseball. We should not look at these players as heroes. They are just humans that have been blessed with the talents to play a kids game. With that being said, the 1998 baseball season was one of the most entertaining seasons that I have ever witnessed in my lifetime. The home run race between Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa was what kept baseball relevant and millions entertained. They both have either admitted (McGwire) or long been suspected (Sosa) of steroid use.
My feelings on this issue is that if someone offered you a pill that would make you the best and highest paid person at your job, would you do it? I think most of us would. Do not get me wrong I do not support the use of illegal drugs in any faction of our lives. What these men (and they are just mortal men) did was very wrong, but enough is enough let the issue go.
