Stop making your life decisions off of old scooby doo episodes.
So I'm in my car on my way to work listening to my favorite talk show on XM radio.The Jason Ellis Show. This is a radio show that pretty much talks about some of the dirtiest stuff I could ever think of, and lots of stuff you just cant converse about on public radio. They had a topic of conversation regarding the recent job that Mark McGwire recieved as hitting coach for the St. Louis Cardinals. As many of you hopefully know, Mark was one of the main suspected athletes in the ginormous baseball steroid scandal. Mainly because Jose Canseco admitted to injecting McGwire when they both played for Oakland. So do you think that it is right for someone who has used performance enhancing drugs to be on a mlb team, mentoring youn players? He is the one that rookies will turn to when they start thier journey in the bigs. I think that it is wrong, he hit 70 homeruns back in the day and wants more recognition for it. Personally I think that there should be a giant effing asterisk by his name in the record books along with Barry Bonds, who I have more dislike for. I think that Bud Selig should step in, and make an exxecutive decision to help keep our young sluggers on a more influential and natural track to superstardom.

I personally have no problem with McGwire being the hitting coach based on the fact of his steroid usage. Unlike most, he at least was man enough to admit that he took them, though you're right Canseco did play a major role in that. I highly doubt that McGwire is going to come into the Cardinals organization and start injecting steroids into other players. I think this will be a good chance for him to prove that he is not just steroid abuser that he was of old. As a Cardinal fan myself, I'm more concerned with the fact that he couldn't hit consistently at any point in his career and now he is the hitting coach.
ReplyDeleteI'd be very interested to know how far steroid usage has infiltrated the sport. Also, how do our expectations and opinions of baseball shift based on these accusations?
