The SlumpBusters
Trying to bust a slump? No worries, it’s only women. Voting in drug abusers and addicts into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? We need someone in there. Wife-beaters already in, or eventually in, various hall of fames? They all deserve redemption. A presidential candidate admitting to past cocaine use? Presidents abusing alcohol? What’s a little vino among friends. But, gosh-darn it, if I am an old white guy, and I have my Harlequin fascination with baseball, then I expect my baseball players to be virgin with cocaine, steroids, and hGH. Let them abuse all other vices, including amphetamines, alcohol and women which you probably term as “harmless vices.. but drugs is a dirty business”.
Live in the real world, baseball writers. You want to make baseball as romantic as you want. Fine. But, don’t try to impose your fantasy into the world’s reality. If an athlete is going to abuse something, I’d rather he do it to himself. It’s not my fault you give the number 61 such romantic properties.
