We all remember the 1998 season in baseball which was one of the biggest and most watched baseball seasons. This was because there were two contenders competing to break the record of "the most baseball home-runs in a single season." This had many people glued to the television to see if the two men partaking in this competition could break Roger Maris' single season home run record of 61. At the end of the season, both men went on to beat that record with Mark McGwire hitting 70 home runs, (Sports Illustrated, CNN, 1998) and Sammy Sosa, hitting 66 home runs within the season (Sports Illustrated, CNN, 1998 ). That season is still remembered as one of the best professional baseball seasons in recent memory. Nevertheless, a few questioned the performance of each baseball player, as both men were later accused of steroid use. However, this claim has yet to be proven. The sportswriters claim that both men have taken some sort of performance enhancing drug. These men are now being punished and face the risk of not being inducted to the Baseball Hall of Fame. The refusal to allow them into the Hall of Fame must come from their alleged performance enhancement drug use, and not from their apparent lack of ability (they were both clearly very skillful). Having two of the greatest hitters in baseball not be inducted to the hall of fame can, and will, be a shame, so performance enhancement drugs should be permitted by the various different sports, so they can have the entertainment and record breaking that the 1998 MLB baseball season had brought the sports fans years ago. Also the use of other unnatural sources of better performance, such as genetic selection, or genetic modification should become a part of the game so that the teams are producing the top quality players we want for the entertainment value. The use of genetic modification can save the team money, and have the players be predetermined in their selection to play...
