Baseball's Frauds

How can a baseball purist continue to watch baseball games and have any credence into what the players are accomplishing? I can’t anymore. If someone hits 50 homers, I am very suspicious of how he is achieving this feat. Is the player using an illegal substance to enhance his hitting prowess? I have no credibility in any of the numbers and statistics being put up today.

Barry Bonds, Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa, Rafael Palmeiro, Juan Gonzalez, Pudge Rodriguez, Jason Giambi, and Gary Sheffield are some of baseball’s marquee players. As far as I’m concerned they are in a league of their own; the steroid and/or Human Growth Hormone League. Whatever numbers they have put up should be segregated from the likes of Aaron, Mays, DiMaggio, Mantle, Maris, Williams, Musial, Banks, Clemente, Killebrew and others, from the post 1990 era.

These so called stars of today have cast a long shadow of suspicion over all of baseball by their cheating. It’s unfortunate that the players that abide by the rules have to be grouped with these frauds.

They laughed at Jose Canseco when he said that 85% of the players today use steroids. The number might be somewhat exaggerated, but what is the true percentage? Is it 50%?
Whatever the number, only a handful will admit to using steroids.

Hey frauds, you’ll never match the old timers because they did it the old fashioned way, their God given abilities.
