Several professional athletes have wrongly taught many young Americans by example that the only way to succeed in sports is to take steroids.

These days the temptation to use steroids in sports has become too great for many young athletes.

It is essential that we put an end to steroid abuse and set a better example for aspiring young athletes to follow, so that some day, when they make it in the All Star Game, it will be because of their own natural talents, and not because of a performance enhancing product.

Baseball has long been a national pastime that many Americans have cherished.

Alex Suchon is a great example to all other young athletes that it's not only a matter of getting an opportunity, but what you do with that opportunity.

For most young Americans I know, 'serving' in the broadest sense now seems like the only thing to do.
