Change

Lots of things are changing and a lot of things will change. Baseball is a game that is changing and this change is not for the good. Steroids are being brought into the game for personnal benefit. One of the greatest players to fall by steroids is Alex Rodriduez and Sports Illusrtated had a story about that. "A-Rod also known as Alex Rodriduez was a natural in his youth. In his first season as a pro with the Mariners he had a batting average of .358, 36 homeruns, 123 RBI's, and even scored 141 runs," (Posnanski 14). Then why did A-Rod fall and start using steroids and he would of said pressure to be A-Rod." (Posnanski 14). "Also among the greats who have used steroids or might have used is Barry Bonds and Mark McGwire and the reasons they could of used is age, overcome injury and everybody else is doing it." (Posnanski 14). These three players, A-Rod, Bonds and McGwire, all love the game but they are willing to use steroids for self gain instead of showing that love towards the game.
