I would agree with the perception that fans of major league baseball would like to move past all this steroid talk. I know I have heard enough about steroids being illegaley used by the players in major league baseball to last me a life time. Last week the baseball world was victim to another steroid storm as more names were leaked off that 2003 list of players that were caught using steroids. I have a request for who ever is holding this list of players that got caught in 2003 can you just release all the names already and get it over with already!
I really don’t care to think about who was doing what illegal steroid back in the day. Baseball fans get it already we have been bombarded for the last few years with news stories of all the superstars of baseball that have been cheating. Unfortunately the issue is not the fact that the media keeps talking about steroids.
The problem is the fact that major league baseball still has a steroid problem and we all know it. Evidence this year of course was the whole Manny Ramirez 50 game suspension this year. I really don’t think that a 50 game suspension really sent a clear enough signal as to how serious the league is about their steroid policy.
The MLB really needs to step up the severity of the penalties against those players that still think they use steroids and get paid. Let’s face it being a player in the MLB is all about money and the players are willing to do just about everything to stay there and get paid. I think if a player gets caught violating the steroid policy once they should be banned for one calendar year with out pay! If you are stupid enough to cheat a second time than guess what you need to start looking for another career because you will not be playing major league baseball anymore.
Do the fans of major league baseball want to move beyond the whole steroids controversy? Yes we do! We need the league to step up and clean up the game so we can all get back to enjoying the talents of our favorite players and not wonder if they are really that good or are they cheating?
