Alex won his third AL (American League) home run title in a row and won his first AL MVP award in 2003. However what people didn’t know is that A-Rod tested positive for two anabolic steroids. Rodriguez showed up on a list with another 104 players in the MLB (Epstein and Roberts). If you ask me I think that all of the players on that list should’ve got suspended including Alex because 2003 ended up being one of his best years as a pro. Without those anabolic steroids I don’t think that he would’ve produced like he did. However according to Epstein and Roberts “Though MLB's drug policy has expressly prohibited the use of steroids without a valid prescription since 1991, there were no penalties for a positive test in 2003.” Even after this news comes out the New York Yankees trade for Alex send Alfonso Soriano to the Rangers in one of the biggest blockbuster

Baseball has always been America’s national pastime. In the early and all the way into the mid 50’s, baseball was America and America was baseball. The only thing lacking in the great game was the absence of African American players and the presence of an all white sport. America still wasn’t friendly or accepted the African American race and many still held great prejudice towards them. All this would change when the general manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers, Branch Rickey decided he was going to sign a Negro player. Jackie Robinson was that player and Jackie Robinson changed the game, America, and history.

"Derek Jeter, a professional ballplayer for the Yankees…" are the exact words Derek Jeter, himself, used in his eighth-grade yearbook (Jeter xvi). For as long as he could remember, Jeter has longed to be a New York Yankee. Fifteen years after predicting he would be a professional ballplayer for the Yankees, Derek Jeter is now more than a Yankee. Jeter isn't only a Yankee; he is a family guy and a World Champion. His career started when he was five years old, and everything has evolved from there.

“Going, Going, Gone, Home Run!” everyone knows what this means when an announcer says it. The game of baseball is a different sport, unlike basketball and football; you do not necessarily need strength to be dominant. So, why are steroids a big issue in baseball?

I am almost certain the world’s strongest man could not hit a home run on a major league field, so why punish those who have used steroids? Steroids are not like magic and transform and average man

“Does Pete Rose belong in the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame?” This is a question that is debated among many pundits for a number of decades. Rose is undeniably one of the best hitters in the game of baseball. Twenty plus years ago, however, he was banned from the game due to the gambling allegations made against him. “Outside of baseball and my family, nothing has ever given me the pleasure, relaxation, or excitement that I got from gambling.

Although I heard of the Hall of Fame, I never seen it nor did I know anything about it. I learned that the founders of the hall of fame were Dez TFA, vulcon, part TDS, Ray Rodriguez and Skeme. The wall located at the Jackie Robinson playground started because Ray Rodriguez got them a wall as a promise not to be tag on his business. He got them a permission wall but it wasn’t a wall that anyone could tag. The graffiti taggers from the community started to the Rules were that only people with “status” were allowed to go into the wall making it be a development for those who are the Kings of graffiti now.

Professional sports are a competition between the greatest athletes in the world. And when I go to a game, that’s exactly what I expect to see. Sports are entertainment. There is no room for purity and respecting the limits that athletes had in the past. Modern athletes should utilize all the resources that they have available to them. This includes steroids, which enhance an athlete’s performance. After all, performance is what really matters.

If you really think that the case of Derrick Rose is real, it's just all about money!
