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

"Pitching is the art of instilling fear" (Sandy Koufax). These are the words Sanford ¨Sandy¨ Koufax believed in, and strived towards throughout his entire Hall of Fame baseball career.

Instead I will tell you something else-- I’m going to tell you that you need to give up your dream of playing baseball. I only say this because i can see that baseball is no longer bringing you pleasure or satisfaction. Our time here on Earth is too short and deserves to be enjoyed to the fullest. I am now giving you permission to go find something else to do with your life that brings you joy. Go find something new that you love to do and that brings you peace and serenity. Spend time with family and friends, find new hobbies, go on vacation, forgive your enemies, but stop playing baseball because it seems to be slowly killing you from the inside out.”

Robinson’s issues kept going. The team Robinson was facing that day, the Philadelphia Phillies and their manager, Ben Chapman. (“Jackie Robinson”). While facing each other, Ben and his team shouted inappropriate terms at Robinson from their dugout. The players of Philadelphia and some of his own teammates threatened to not play against Robinson’s team, but Leo Durocher, the Dodgers’ manager, said that he would choose Robinson over anyone on the team.

For this first project we were given a situation involving our third basemen Greg. Greg is currently struggling in game situation after showing amazing strides in practice which got him his starting role on our respective baseball team.

I plan on as the coach focusing on his traits and states that might cause our starting third basement to not show his full skill level during game day. This will take some time since Greg has just moved from a different school district and is his first year playing for our team.
