Not Your Grandfather's Sport

With the recent Mitchell report about the use of 'performance enhancing' drugs by a list of professional baseball players, it's obvious that sports today aren't quite what they were a couple of generations ago. Today, there is so much money in it that the pressures to gain an advantage which allows you to do on the field things that you couldn't possibly do without the juice or maybe allows you to play a few more years at several million a year are for many irresistible. There really is no way to compare professional sports of a couple of generations ago with it today. It's all become big business, big money, and ego.
