When Our Heroes Cheat

This article is about how cheating has been going on all baseball history. In the 1950s the New York Giants baseball team were racing to the pennant and the Giants were cheating because for the last 10 weeks of the season the Giants used a center field telescope and a complex system of signals to tell their batters what pitch was coming next. The purpose of this article is to inform you that people have been cheating through out baseball history. For example Roger Clemens using steroids is called cheating and unlike Mark McGwire Clemens doesn't apologize for using steroids. 

This article is objective because it gives examples of people who used steroids like Roger Clemens. For example, Ross Douthat says, "Clemens is just one of the many baseball superstars credibly accused of using performance-enhancing drugs. But the Red Sox-turned-Yankee ace has achieved a particular infamy because he keeps obdurately denying it -- to fans, to reporters and finally (and fatefully) to a Congressional committee. Other athletes have apologized, beaten their breasts and tried to move on." This quote also proves my point that he didn't apologize.

The author of this article beives that cheating is bad because it ruins the sport and steroids are a part of that.
