I Am Finished With Baseball!
Trivia Question. Who Has Hit The Most Home Runs In Major League Baseball? Barry Bonds? Mark McGwire? Roger Maris? Ok, Consider This A Multiple Choice Question. That Being The Case I Choose Pee Wee Herman. Yet Again I'm Not Sure If That Is The Correct Answer. Maybe It's Because Major League Baseball Makes It Almost Impossible To Figure Out Who Is Cheating And Who Is Not.
Steroids, And Body Enhancement Drugs Are Prohibited In Major League Baseball.
Rewind To 1998. The Home Run Race Between Sammy Sosa And Mark McGwire. The World Was Watching. People Who Would Not Have Normally Been Giving Any Attention To This Slugging Contest Between These Men To Surpass The Title Held By The Great Roger Maris. The Record Had Been 61, Set By Maris In 1961 Playing For The New York Yankee's.
Mark McGwire In 1998 Broke That Record By Hitting 70 Home Runs In A Single Season. Sammy Sosa However Was The First Major League Batter To Hit 65 Home Runs In A Single Season. However In 2003 Sammy Sosa Was Caught Using Cork In His Bat. He Was Suspended From Playing For A Number Of Games And Fined. How Many Of Those Home Runs Had Cork In The Bat? In 2010, After Accepting The Position Of Cardinals Hitting Coach, McGwire Admitted To Using Steroids During His Playing Career.
In 2001 Barry Bonds Broke The Record Set By Mark Mcgwire By Hitting 73 Home Runs In A Single Season.
In 2007, He Was Indicted On Charges Of Perjury And Obstruction Of Justice For Allegedly Lying To The Grand Jury During The Government's Investigation Of BALCO, By Testifying That He Never Knowingly Took Any Illegal Steroids. The Trial Began March 21, 2011. He Was Convicted On April 13, 2011 On The Obstruction Of Justice Charge.
It Is My Opinion Major League Baseball Is Now Considered Entertainment. All Of These Years I Considered It A Sport. The Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig And Those Who Are In The Position Of Enforcing Rules Should All Be Removed. The Average Baseball Fan Does Not Know Who The True Home Run Champ Is. It Should Have Never Gotten This Far. When The Rules Are Broken, A Simple Process Of Punishment Should Be Determined.
As Of This Day I Will Not Be Considered A Baseball Fan Of The Major League Level.
I Have A Brother In Law Who Gave Up On Baseball When The Players Went On Strike. The Millions Of Dollars Spent On These Players Are Outrageous. That's Why It's So Costly To Watch A Game Of Major League. The Never Ending Rise In Price Of The Hotdog. It Will Continue Until You, The Fan, Are Fed Up And Say Enough Is Enough!
However, This Fan Ain't Hanging Around. It's Over For Me.
Baseball Has A Rich History. From This Point On That's The Only Part Of Baseball I Care About. Three Strikes, You're Out!!
