Sadly, this problem of steroid use is not isolated to baseball.

That's what Major League Baseball's steroid scandal was all about, the hidden harm in competitive sports that sends the wrong message to the young.

I was a baseball player, I taught baseball, and all of a sudden I was in the business world. Now I used the baseball world to talk about their product. Not too much, just enough to keep going. Just be yourself and you'll never have a problem. That's what I did.

Major League Baseball has always recognized the influence that our stars can have on the youth of America. As such, we are concerned that recent revelations and allegations of steroid use have been sending a terrible message to young people.
I'm a very lucky guy. I had so many people help me over the years that I never had many problems. If I had a problem, I could sit down with someone and they would explain the problem to me, and the problem become like a baseball game.

The best example of how impossible it will be for Major League Baseball to crack down on steroids is the fact that baseball and the media are still talking about the problem as ""steroids.""

Problems
Too many problems, oh why am I here?
I need to be me, cause youre all to clear
And I can see theres something wrong with you
Oh, what do you expect me to do?
At least I gotta know what I wanna be
Dont come to me if you need pity
Are you lonely, you got no-one
You got your body in suspension
Thats a problem, problem, problem
The problem is you
Eat your heart out on a plastic tray
You dont do what you want and you fade away
You work for me, youre working nine-to-five
Its too much fun of being alive
Im using my feet for my human machine
You work for me, living for the screen
Are you lonely, all needs catered
You got your brains dehydrated
Problem, problem, problem, the problem is you
Oh what what you gonna do, problem, problem
Problem, problem, problem, the problem is you
Well, what you gonna do with your problem
The problem is you, problem
I aint death trip, but I aint automatic
You work for me, just stay ecstatic
Dont you give me any orders
To people like me, there is no order
Bet you thought you had it all worked out
Bet you thought you knew what I was about
Bet you thought youd solved all your problems
But you are the problem
Problem, problem, problem, the problem is you
Oh, what you gonna do with your problem?
Ill leave it up to you, oh problem
The problem is you, you got a problem
Oh what you gonna do?
They know a doctor, gonna take you away
Thay take you away and they throw away the key
They dont want you and they dont want me
You got a problem the problem is you
Problem, well, what you gonna do?
Problem, have you got a problem?
Problem, well you got a problem
Problem (x17)

The problem I have with making an intelligent statement is that some people then think it's not an isolated occurrence.

Going ahead
What is the problem
And there is no problem.
You want to do
And the work done
You want to go
And you gone.
The problem is
There is no problem
The problem you created
Is not a problem.
It is your duty
To think yourself
What to do
And there is nothing
To do.
Who are you to do
And the problem is
You are going
A head to do.

I always thought that there was going to be life after baseball, and so I designed that in my life I would have other interests after baseball that I would be able to step into. And I didn't realize the grip that baseball had on me and on my family.

Baseball Has Been Blemished
'Ladies and Gentlemen...
This is a dim, dark day we face in America.
Our troubles seem to have come and parked upon
Our Thresholds to bring and leave us sorrow...
Within our stadium walls and our manicured,
And richly green park diamonds.
In the past few years,
We have suffered through threats of terrorists
And the antics of Brittany Spears.
Paris Hilton
Rosie and 'The' Donald
Lower than average film revenue.
Plus...
The exposures revealed by our priests...
Who not only knelt at the altars
Of our divine pristine religious structures.
But also at the knees of our young boys.
Yes...
These days that come to crack our backs...
Seem to try to cloud our eyes,
With unrelenting tears.
Not only has a bomb been dropped on Obama.
With reports of his drug use as a young man...
Some twenty years ago.
But Maya Angelou's support of Hillary Clinton's
Run for president of this great nation...
Wishing she could give her away,
As one of her favorite things this holiday season!
Yes...
And although it pains me,
From the depths of my patriotic heart
To announce this latest most devastating blow.
I have come to announce the steroid use...
And other enhancing performance inducements
Taken by our highly paid baseball players!
This is a sad day for baseball!
Baseball...
Has been blemished!
While we were singing...
Take me out to the ball game
Take me out to the crowds.
Buy me some peanuts and cracker jacks...
Our boys were pumping themselves up,
With much more than vitamin C and Iron!
The very foundation of our strengths...
Seem to be crumbling beneath,
The secrets of our greed.
And mud stained feet!
What can and shall be done about this?
We must not let this defeat our greatness achieved.
And with a moment of silence...
Let us unite and bow our heads,
To be lead...
Once again to lift them up,
In the hopes to glimmer our brows in the Sun...
Once again.
This report is a call to action!
Let us pray.
Liberal Democrats. Conservative Republicans...
And Independents all.
Let us win back our dignity,
And the untarnished image of our beloved baseball.'

Gun crime is a major cause of fear and distress throughout the UK. The problem is deeply entrenched in a wide range of social and cultural factors and therefore not an isolated issue.

Ol' gents on a bench(in the park after dark)
Ol’ gents on a bench (in the dark in the park)
Two grizzled ol’ gents
On a bench in the park
Talking sagely of baseball
In the late evening dark
“ya think there’s baseball in heaven? ”
Mused Shecky to Levi
Levi furrowed his brow deeply
As he sighed soft reply
With an old man’s wet wheeze
He sonorously said
tis fairly certain we’ll know
Shortly after we’re dead
Let’s make a deal, they solemnly proposed
Whoever goes first will return to reveal
If there’s bleachers to seat and hot dogs to eat
And heavenly bases to steal.
As fate would have it, Shecky passed on that very night
And the next night Levi on their bench sadly sat alone
When out of the night, giving Levi such a fright
Levi heard Shecky’s ghostly voice intone
“Levi, oh Levi! I have good news and bad
Levi, there’s baseball in heaven” Shecky said with delight
And the bad news my ol’ friend I hate to relate
is…you’re the starting pitcher tomorrow night.

Anyone who has seen me spin that heavy, giant wheel on television knows that I'm not a steroid user.
The economics of baseball are the big problem. The big clubs make a lot of money and the little clubs don't.

It urges policy makers and the Supreme Court to make the mistake of curing what could prove to be an isolated problem by disarming the government of its principal weapon to stop future terrorist attacks.
The Big Problem....
There is this BIG PROBLEM
WE decided not to talk about it
We think that that problem must solve itself
Auto-resolution
So day and night the problem stays there
Like a drunkard in the room
Vomiting
To every nook of the house
The house
That smells like fucking
Shit
But that problem is never considered a problem
There is a room for it to stay
And it can stay
It cannot consume us
It has no mouth and so it has no teeth
It has no tongue it cannot say a word
It stays there like a piece of art
And we begin to appreciate it
Like a piece of rock
Unchanged in the middle of the living room
We eat lunch there
They prepare nice dinners
We drink red wine
We munch chocolates
And sweet berries
The problem stays but it cannot nag us
Because we can pretend
That it is a brother
That we cannot junk but only love
And keep as part of the
Company
There is still this problem
And it did not solve itself
We live by this problem and this problem lives with us
Symbiosis
And so now
What is the problem? Is this a problem after all these years?
It is not anymore
We have learned that it is not a problem anymore
We die soon
And it shall perhaps disappear
Shall it weep over our departure?
That is its problem.
