Baseball's drug policy happened in 2004, long before anybody in the previous 100 plus years of baseball could have been prevented from taking these steroids and other drugs. *With this type of instability in the baseball drug program, why start now? @[Sure], I am for equality amongst all of baseball's players, @[but] preventing something that is impossible to prevent because of the excessive amounts of baseball players should not even be tried. It is the containment of this that should be attempted. If a person is found taking steroids, punish him. @[But] why should we start marking asterisks when several generations of baseball players have gone by unnoticed. Many baseball records have been set without being tested for steroids. To start now would be ludicrous. It is not the fairness of the morality of the situation, @[but] the fairness of the overall situation.

*In order to make this more of a policy, they need to just be more lenient on the use of steroids and not have the media blast on everybody who uses them. Drug testing was effective as of 2004, and steroids were available long before that. That means that everybody before then had the chance to use steroids and no one cared. If they get caught then they get caught, dont make a public scene about it. All records should go asterisk free because theyre now just keying in on people when baseball has been around for more than 100 years.
“This exercise did not really do much to help me. I can definitely see the use for it, but I believe this is something I cannot see myself doing on my own time to help me out for this paper. All of my sentences seemed to be in proper structure. It could help in the future however.
