Sorry baseball fans, I don't know whether to believe all these numbers these players are putting up anymore. Yes, I know Barry Bonds took steroids; I know Mark McGuire took steroids. But I did have hope that a lot of players who made it to the major leagues did it with hard work and practice (you know, like the old days). One of those players I thought was legit was Alex Rodriguez. When he had his ridiculous April in whatever that year was where he hit about 75 home runs in 25 games, I joked he was on steroids. I figured it wasn't true. He lost weight before that season, steroids don't do that.
Now, my joking might just be reality. A-Rod tested positive for steroids in 2003. The only difference between him and Bonds, A-Rod tested positive when there was no penalty. I guess you should cheat when it's legal to. But here's what gets me. In a 60 Minutes interview shortly after the Mitchell Report came out, A-Rod said he didn't ever take performance enhancing drugs. Lies! I don't know who to believe anymore. I really thought A-Rod was playing the game correctly. Turns out he was "playing the game" everyone else was and is.
He still could be taking steroids too. He can still be lying, just like he was, and everybody else is.
I don't know who to believe anymore. I don't know what to believe anymore. I guess we are just going to have to assume everyone took steroids, it seems to be a trend. What is wrong with America's pastime?
