To those whom in persistence seek resolve to the ever-growing need of justification in quest of cynicism and negativity I hereby present yet another in representation. If not sufficient in support or proof positive of increased and protected results through scientific saturation and chemical growth fostered in the human body, then one must ,at this point in the judiciary finding of fact and matter dismiss him/herself from even a party of interest. Far too many men and woman have chosen science over the natural order of all things as pertaining to a body's muscular/skeletal and nervous systems degenerative state opposing that of rediscovery and youth rescued and preserved.

Allow, if you would, the resurgence in physical form of those in pure selection and celebratory or statuesque replay of this National Past-time, Baseball. Joe (shoeless) Jackson, Lou Gehrig, Jimmy Fox or the greatest (arguably) Tyrus R. Cobb. The list shall not be limited herein, nor construed by any to represent beyond simply principle; These men were driven by the long ago forfeited emotional embers of love as perpetual cylinders toward competition. They participated because they loved the game, being gifted and prepared for it's sole purpose. They and their like were and indeed are easy to idolize, to attach ones ethereal circumstance and tarry nigh as visions surrender.

Allow, now, those modern day; super-sized, tuned yet ill defined-tamed yet quick to explode in unprovoked fury, to mock the game those aforementioned came to mold and mend. Watch these test-tub tributes destroy their career endeavors in a matter of a half-life. I am saddened my children and grandson must be troubled and thrown into another transient boundary. "Why doesn't that Home-run count Papa?" Why is everyone talking bad about Manny Ramirez?" (actual questions- both)

Redundant and ridiculous and I am so weary now of many different spells of awe I was infused by prior to the stark discover. Allow me now. please, time to breath. Allow wisdom aged and acceptable to steep amid the confines of my mind so I might speak about this game I love and believe in the love I have for this game without the cold, weight of cynicism to freeze my tongue and seize forever my heart.
