Read: The New Face of a Generation
Anthony DiComo at MLB.com calls David Wright the ‘poster child for a new generation of ballplayers’ in an article where Wright discusses his views on steroids in baseball and is quoted as saying…
“This stuff doesn’t go on anymore in baseball…Maybe it’s me being naive, but I don’t think that guys are trying to beat the system now in baseball. I think that’s behind us.”
Wright goes on to say he would ‘go to battle for [Paul Lo Duca] any day’, but could never ‘condone’ the use of steroids and feels there should be a ‘harsh penalty’ for anyone who gets caught.
…i’d like to be optimistic too, but i with the number of teams and players trying to make a name for themselves i can’t help but think there will always be someone trying to cheat the system and get an edge…it’s up to baseball to stay on top of it…that being said, i couldn’t agree more with d-wright being the poster child for doing things, well, right…
