We the Major League baseball Gods and fans demand that players all around the world stop taking steroids and/or performance enhancing drugs. We feel like it’s a disgrace to baseball. Baseball has been around for hundreds of years and just now in the past 30 years or so, it’s starting to be classified, not as baseball, but as steroid baseball. Some of the greatest hitters of all time, who us fans thought were real class acts of the game, have announced they took steroids and/or performance enhancing drugs. Players like Mark McGwire, Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Alex Rodriguez and possibly many more.
Barry Bonds, Mark McGwire and Alex Rodriguez have been the recognized faces of baseball for the past 20 years. These three men have changed the state of baseball forever. Barry Bonds is the all time leader in Home Runs, with 756, but now baseball analysts and journalists think that more than half of his home runs were delivered with the help of steroids and/or performance enhancing drugs, even though it appears he will never admit to it.
So it goes for Mark McGwire; in 1998 he hit 70 regular season Home Runs. This had never happened before. Not surprisingly, a couple of months later he admitted to taking steroids.
Next up is Alex Rodriguez. This summer there was a story that surfaced about a company in Florida called Biogenesis that apparently came to A-Rods house, during the offseason, and injected him with steroids. Of course A-Rod flatly rejects all the rumors and has declined to comment further. Four months, later the Major League Baseball committee found evidence that A-Rod did indeed get injected with steroids and have decided to suspend him for over 200 games. With MLB’s perplexing rule allowing a player to appeal any suspension, A-Rod has chosen to go down that road and is now going through the appeals process, while still being able to play baseball all summer.
Alex Rodriguez is the only person in Major League Baseball history to be suspended for more than 50 games due to more offenses with steroids. We the baseball Gods and fans of the world demand that baseball goes back to its grassroots way of playing before the game gets tainted forever. We demand if you get caught taking steroids and/or performance enhancing drugs you will be given a minimum of 100 games suspension. With that punishment, if you are a first time offender, we demand that you go on national television and plead for your forgiveness. If this is your second time being caught with taking performance enhancing drugs you will sit out a 150 game suspension, plus take part in community service for at least 200 hours. Finally for your third time being caught as an abuser, you will receive a lifetime ban from Major League Baseball, plus a hearing in court as to whether you should also receive jail time.
We, the Gods and fans of baseball, strongly suggest you stop taking these banned substances before you lose your chance to ever play baseball again and even possibly, losing your freedom. We ask you this one simple question, is it worth risking your baseball career and possibly your life for one injection of steroids into your body or swallowing one pill of a performance enhancing drugs? I think most people in this world would say no, if they were being honest.
The game of baseball is supposed to be for all ages. For example when you are growing up as a young child you start off doing Tee-ball. You then slowly progress to live pitch from your Coach. Next, is possibly playing Little League baseball and getting a chance to be on national television at the Little League Championships in Pennsylvania. After that, the final two steps to make it to the MLB are High School ball and College Baseball. You are basically giving all your life to become a Major League baseball player and you have one injury and you say to yourself; “I don’t think I can come back as strong as I use to be, so I’m going to take steroids and risk throwing everything away I tried for the most.” Steroids and/or performance enhancing drugs are not worth it and should not be tolerated under any circumstance in the game of baseball!
The motto has always been for the baseball Gods and fans of the world, “IF YOU ARE GOING TO TAKE IT, WE’RE COMING TO GET IT!” This is a message for all the young kids out there who are trying to become Major League Baseball players, please stay clean and lets take the game of baseball back to what it once was. It’s crucial that we, the Gods and fans of the baseball world, teach the young, future MLB players the right way to play the game.
In this spirit we have decided to hold a summer camp in Orlando, Florida from July 6th through August 2nd that will teach you not to take steroids, what steroids can do to your body, and how to be a professional ball player in the Major Leagues. The camp is free for ages 5-12 and for ages 12-18 it will be $200 for the whole month. We hope you decide to take this opportunity to come to our camp and learn how to be a clean, drug free professional ball player. If you have any questions please contact Mr. Ryan Glover at 901-298-9876 or at his email rglover@yahoo.com.
Hopefully I will see you guys this summer in Orlando!
