Mitchell Report

I’m sure many of you baseball fans out there are just as disappointed as I am to hear about some of our favorite players being revealed in the Mitchell Report today.

The report showed that every team in Major League Baseball had at least one player who was using drugs. It’s disappointing to think professional athletes felt they needed to fall back on harmful substances in order to gain an edge. These athletes showed little respect for their bodies and to the integrity of America’s favorite pastime. What’s worse, they don’t appear to realize the detrimental impact they’re having on younger athletes. Professional athletes need to realize that whether they like it or not, they are role models. The bottom line is that Major League Baseball needs to shape up or Congress is going to do it for them.
