Let me play Devils Advocate in Steroids and Baseball
Lets face it lady's and gents as much as i would get creamed by any baseball lover for saying this i must speak my mind. Wasn't baseball a hell of a lot more entertaining when Sammy and Mark were chasing records. Back when Barry was chasing something new every season. I enjoyed actually believing that there was a player that was actually worth 25 million a season. How about the Brady Anderson 50 home run season's. Look the majors is not the NFL the NFL is a team promoted sport with a fan base in what seems to be every city where the city is dedicated to the team and not so much a player or stars. Baseball though operates a little more like basketball. Sure you have your main stay's like the Yankees and Sox. But most small market teams basically will need some type of face to draw crowds. And unless you have a magical squad ala last years Devil Rays nothing draws fans to the stands like the long ball. I see baseball going the way it was headed before steroids saved it. Then you will see rules losin and steroids will wave there ugly lucrative head once again. I see this happening with in the next decade. Though i hope im wrong because as a society it really does pass through our college's and high schools with kids who have dreams and wonna use every advantage.
