Juiced ?


I have been a baseball fan since I could throw a ball. I can remember the nights spent at dodger stadium. Eating a hot dog. Sipping a coke and talking about how Ron Cey looked like a penguin. I've met ball players, I've seen them do things they probably don't want you to know about ( gamble ), and even seen and heard about them doing great things for others. But personally I am disappointed. For almost 20 years I have had a Roger Clemens rookie card. Through out my teen years it was one of my proudest possessions. I would show it to any one interested. As I have moved on in years I have realized how unimportant that stuff really is. But today is different, today is a day I feel a little lower. One of those heroes from my youth is falling to the earth.

It is something to be learned. It doesn't matter who you are, How strong you are, How fast you can throw the ball, or how hard it can be hit. If you don't do it with integrity, it means nothing.
