Is Baseball Smart As A Fifth Grader?

Author: Amanda Category: Articles

Baseball leadership has since the 19th Century called itself Big League. Now is the time and the hour to live up to that billing.

We may not be smarter than a fifth grader but it is high time we tried our dead level best to at least be as smart as a fifth grader.

Did baseball create the world situation whereby the fast paced life style of achieving and over achieving was an absolute must? A fifth grader would most likely answer No. Now are we collectively smart enough to agree with that fifth grader?

Baseball the most talked about and the most written about part of the World . It is only natural that the limelight or the blind eye hears, knows , sees, and ingests our digests every portion of the action pertaining to the game and the players.

The act of body enhancement be it for beauty or for strengths sake is a norm not the extraordinary . Recognize up front and proclaim this to be a truth. Now we have admitted the truth of the matter it now allows us a chance to remedy a shortsighted deficiency of our entire society.

Matter of fact Baseball that is the entire “Baseball World” can take its cap off, wave to the crowds and say “Yes we will be the Flag carrying Leader to solve this malady.” What more could an institution or group such as Big League Baseball wish than to go down in history as the Leader toward solving and helping to eliminate a situation tending to destroy our society.

Be as smart as a fifth grader understand the problem ,accept facts, accept responsibly and accept the honor to provide an answer. Placing blame when we are in this drug mad scramble together provides no solution only boils the pot.

Every military man, every president, every congressman, every boy scout, every girl scout, every witness, every walk of life take sworn oaths to do the right thing by the office or the endeavor unto which they are becoming involved. Will the baseball world put on this cloak of leadership and set an example so profound and encompassing that baseball becomes the one secular entity which turned the tide and changed a deteriorating society.

Baseball be challenged and be as smart as a fifth grader and understand that the past is prologue the future is now.

Adopt rules of conduct for baseball which could apply equally through out our society and simply enforce the rules.

There is nothing within the realm of reality which forces one to become a baseball player or to be a part of baseball management or for that matter even a baseball fan. Bad behavior and shirking the rules in a deliberate and profound manner should not be tolerated nor condoned. Dismissal post haste from participation should be natural and standard fare.

Baseball Big Leagues you now stand in the middle of the Bull Ring do the honrable thing fight to the death to rid “The Game” of this albatross and monkey on our back “The use of harmful body and mind bending drugs.”

Where or if ever in the course of history has one group or entity such as “Baseball” been placed in a position whereby the entire world is so keenly watching the final turn of events?

You are it. Be as smart if not smarter than a fifth grader.
