The slowness of Major League sports to act on this has already taken it's toll I'm sure. Baseball has finally responded, at least to the extent of it's current status. But all sports must constantly respond on a constant and continuing manner as new methods will be developed and new responses necessary. The various sport leagues not only have this responsibilty but it is beyond me how players and their unions can not be willing and equally responsible. <BR/><BR/>The example set for the youth of this country is certainly primary for continuing vigil. At the same time the history and integrety of the game is likewise equally important. I choose not to get into naming the so called stars of today that have disappointed by using these various methods of enhancing their performance. On the other hand it is the players of the past that should be revered for their accomplishments and maintaining their integrity and the integrity of the game. Names from Young & Mathews, to Ruth & Gehrig to Dean & Williams to Spahn, Ford & DiMaggio to Gibson, Aaron, Flood, Marichal & Mays, to Jackson, Fisk, & Yount on to players of today such as Jetter. Yes, the integrety of the game and the players that made it what it has been deserve protection as well as respect. Just as youth of today need athletes they can model and look up to, "The Game" and it's stars of the past deserve respect.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
