The MLB (Major League Baseball) has banned steroids, better known as a type of PED (performance enhancing drug). I insist steroids should not be banned from the organization. With the ban, we will never know what could have been the absolute potential of each player that made it to the big leagues. Steroids will benefit the league because they prevent many injuries, which is beneficial to the ballplayers and their teams club. Steroids being allowed leads to baseball becoming more popular, which then leads to baseball becoming more profitable as long as certain limits are observed to keep the players from experiencing the more serious side-effects.

The purpose of performance enhancement drugs is to increase muscle mass, strength, speed, and most importantly bone firmness. With the bettering of bone firmness, athletes will become less prone to injuries and if they do get hurt, with steroids, recovery will go by in a heartbeat as to an athlete that does not take steroids. It is clear that with steroids and other performance enhancing drugs, the Major League Baseball will be a safer game for athletes at whichever position. Although people believe baseball to be one of the least injury prone sports because there is not as much physical contact, there is an endless amount of ways to get hurt on the field. Injures are unpredictable and can occur at any moment during a game of baseball. Players take the risks of sliding into a base with the possibility of fracturing parts of their bodies such as legs, ankles, fingers, hands, and even necks on a head first dive. Hitters also get hit by pitches going ninety-five miles per hour. There is no telling where it will hit them. Those are just two very popular ways Major League Baseball players get hurt as it can affect their season, career, and teams position. The advantages steroids could bring to the table if it were legalized would revolutionize the game. Then, there will be no telling what else could make “America’s Pasttime” any more
