and quality of pitchers, but people fail to recognize these and use PEDs as a scapegoat. Also, in the 2009 Hall of Fame, two members of the inducting class, Ferguson Jenkins and Paul Molitor were busted for using cocaine in the 1980s. They are only but a few of what is sure to be many players who have been caught using illegal drugs that are now inducted into the hall of fame. If players who were caught with these drugs are still eligible, why shouldn’t players who admitted to using PEDs be able…

around since the inception of baseball. The author cites players in the past such as Roger Marris, Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays, and Sandy Koufax. This list has continued to grow exponentially throughout the existence of baseball. Today’s players are Barry Bonds, Jose Canseco, Alex Rodriguez, Manny Ramirez, Mark McGwire, and others that we don’t know about that have flown under the radar for using some type of steroid or performance enhancement (Chafets 253-54). These examples provide the validity…

in the protest space to some degree, and shift from the norms of group-oriented, collectivist movements that dominated the protest space in the past. This is consistent with the idea of networked individualism, which is discussed by Lee Rainie and Barry Wellman in Networked: The New Social Operating System. According to Rainie and Wellman, instead of operating within clearly defined groups, individuals are part of multiple networks and participate within all of them to varying degrees, and this…

The use of steroids, also known as performance enhancing drugs (PEDs), in baseball has been illegal in Major League Baseball since 1991, even though they did not start league wide testing until 2003. And even though they are outlawed, many still use steroids and get away with it. This gives them an unfair advantage and if not used properly can ruin not only their careers, but their lives. I believe that steroids should become legal in the MLB to level the playing field. Many people cheat and get…

in order to sway a voter to favor them. The 1964 introduced fear appeals in political ads. This election illustrates civil rights and the Vietnam War as main political issues, and this is evident through the campaigns run by Lyndon B. Johnson and Barry…

1. Personal contribution to the team Overall I did a supportive job in my team. In the beginning of the team project, I wrote down my team members’ MBIT type and asked about their working habit, so we could know each other better and work more efficiently together. I found out that all of us were introverted and preferred to work individually first and combine our thoughts together later. Therefore, I helped my teammates to allocate individual tasks to each one of us. This allocation helped…

Performance Enhancing Drugs. One of the most popular topics in all of sports, particularly baseball. It’s been around the game for the past few decades, and possibly even before that. When you think of Performance Enhancing Drugs, or PED’s for short, you think of a drug that are considered illegal, narcotic, or even dangerous, depending on how much you use. This stuff is no joke. These drugs are also considered an abusive substance, meaning you can do more harm to other people, other than…

In today’s day and age of baseball, we are all living in the so called, Steroid Era. It is named the Steroid Era because players over the last two decades have been caught using performance enhancers, which has become the latest major problem in the MLB. Performance enhancing drugs, which are commonly known as PED’s, means basically what it states; it enhances a player’s performance on the field. Over the last few years, members of the BBWAA have not voted in players that have been caught using…

People are often overly focused on injuries in football that they forget injuries in other sports for example baseball. Baseball for the most part is considered a non-contact sport and therefore people overlook the amount of injuries that occur. There are three major injuries which have been a cause for concern for baseball in America, the amount of Tommy John surgeries for pitchers, the neighborhood play, and protecting the catcher. With the increase participation in single sport…

For your upcoming re-election campaign of Barry Goldwater to be successful, we need to come up with a plan to placate voter concerns about Senator Goldwater’s health and age. This Campaign is coming at the perfect time with President Carter so underwhelming in office and such a charismatic upcoming Republican presidential candidate like Reagan, we believe that Republican voters will come out of the woodwork in higher numbers. Due to this prediction my team and I have done a poll and based on the…
