Where have you gone Joe DiMaggio?

I have grown up in an era of baseball where money ruled and free agency didn't allow for the tradition of baseball to thrive. You could rent out your services to the highest bidder and lend your services to one playoff run. The next year you could be somewhere else.
In other cases, owners making millions of dollars and paying little for players while fans watch an inferior product on the field. What is it David Letterman said, "Today is opening day and the Pittsburgh Pirates have been mathematically eliminated from the playoffs."
But now, we are in an era of steroids, denial, lying and cowardice. Players are juicing to make it to the big leagues, compete at a high level, and even eclipse records. Anything to be the best! This fact is nothing new, anything to be the best.
Human nature and competitiveness make sports so high pressured and make athletes do immoral things. Money and fame bring out the worst in some. I pine for a simpler day if there ever was one.
