Spring Training is underway. Another promising baseball season is on the horizon. It’s supposed to be a special season because of Barry Bonds’ quest at immortality. Bonds is only 21 homers shy of breaking Henry Aaron’s homerun record of 755. Baseball lives for these type of moments. Baseball was at a standstill when Pete Rose broke Ty Cobb’s hit record in 1986. Also when Cal Ripken broke Lou Gehrig’s iron man record of 2,130 consecutive games played in 1995. Those records are forever etched in my mind. Unfortunately Bonds’ feat is being overshadowed by the Balco scandal. All we hear about is the steroids. It must really stink to be a kid in today’s time. When I was a kid there was the occasional corked bat, spitter or scuffed baseball. Those things were bad enough but it never over shadowed the game itself. The things that are happening now are bigger than the game and it is scary. When I watch sports I only want to think about the game. I want to know about strategy, statistics and other factors concerning the game itself. There are too many distractions in today’s sports world.

I totally agree with you here. The whole sports world id totally out of control. But then so is the rest of the world. Why can't we just watch a really good game and be able to enjoy it?
