Comments on: ESPN and Seton Hall Poll Fans about Steroids http://www.27pitches.com/2009/03/espn-and-seton-hall-poll-fans-about-steroids/ Sun, 25 Jul 2010 21:27:52 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Susan http://www.27pitches.com/2009/03/espn-and-seton-hall-poll-fans-about-steroids/comment-page-1/#comment-25 Susan Tue, 24 Mar 2009 15:24:28 +0000 http://www.27pitches.com/?p=138#comment-25 Well, count me in with fans who prefer defensive games over the almighty "homerun". How much more interesting it is to see the glove make impressive plays than to watch that longball fly. Besides, players wouldn't need steroids to perform defensive gems; just natural talent and hard work. Steroids are often used to "level the playing field", but baseball is not a "handicap" sport and athletes who wish it was should take up golfing or bowling. As far as HGH/steriod use and the Hall of Fame issue, wouldn't it be great to move forward; by putting asterisks next to questionable inductees, and instituting a zero tolerance policy from today forward. However, with Bud Selig at the helm, such progress doesn't look too promising. Change is certainly overdue. Well, count me in with fans who prefer defensive games over the almighty “homerun”.
