over time. It’s no question that baseball is one of the most racist sports in the world. The Cleveland Indians have managed to create the most racist logo in sports of all time. It is very offensive as it is a cartoon Indian with a red face and a feather. But that’s just a logo. I want to talk about the players and the future of the league.

The north and south would even play games of pick-up baseball during the Civil War after a long day of fighting. Now-a-days,…

banned from Major League Baseball and in 2003 testing of the Major League Baseball players began. I think steroids should be let back into Major League Baseball because steroids can help with some medical injuries such as strained muscles or even broken bones, steroids would also give the sport more of an edge like Major League Baseball fans are looking for and because it is also wrong for people to think steroids are a bad thing when they have not experienced it.

is an avid reader and loves to recommend books to anyone who would take his suggestions so as a going away gift to all of his interns he gave us a book about business in baseball. He believed that this book would help cement some of the things we learned over the summer in our brains. Dave would also take us to other minor league stadiums in order to learn how other organizations do business and to pick up on other teams strengths and weaknesses.
