Major League Baseball Cheaters to be Disciplined

It is gratifying to note that Major League Baseball is preparing to seek suspensions of as much as one hundred games against the cheaters of the game, those who used banned substances in order to enhance performance, and that the disciplinary action will reach to the top echelon of talent, including Milwaukee Brewer Ryan Braun and New York Yankee Alex Rodriguez.                If the charges against these athletes are true, they have brought shame and disgrace to themselves and to the teams that made them fabulously wealthy, wealth that we now believe to have been ill-gotten gain. 
At the very least, the reputations of these athletes will be diminished as shall be their prospects of gaining entry into the exalted Cooperstown, New York Hall of Fame.  
Baseball is known as America’s pastime, a “family game”.  It must live up to those high standards. The message must be delivered loud and clear: those who seek underhanded, prohibited means to become better than others in the game will negatively impact their livelihoods and wreck their futures.
