As I sit at my desk today, another famous baseball player, Manny Ramirez, has been caught using performance enhancing drugs.  For those of you that don’t follow sports or baseball, I understand that this might not mean much to you.  However, I think it still speaks to the state of humanity in our country and world.  Manny has been an amazing hitter throughout his career, however his personality has overshadowed any statistic he has ever put up.  In fact, last year the Boston Red Sox traded Manny, even though he is one of the most feared hitters in the game because they grew weary of dealing with him.

However ridiculous he is as a person, I have never heard even the slightest hint or speculation that he is a cheater.  I think his name being revealed as a cheater is going to further change the landscape of baseball and a cloud of doubt will be forever cast over every player.  It reminds me of how people in the 80’s began to doubt televangelists.

It is a sad day for true baseball fans.
