There's no crying in baseball.

I love baseball! I enjoy going to the ball park with my family, seeing the sights, smelling the smells, eating the twenty-eight dollar hotdogs. (I said I like eating them not paying for them.)

But the other day I heard something on the radio and I was wondering if ya'll could help me understand it. They were talking about Barry Bonds and his alleged steroid use. One guy said even if Barry did use steroids it was not against baseball rules, at the time. However the United States had made it illegal to use as an enhancement drug. Here is my question. If it is illegal, does it matter if it is a rule or not? Isn't it like saying to a baseball player, "Hey you just robbed that bank." "Yeah but there is no rule about it in the baseball handbook, so it is OK."

I may be stretching this a bit but that kind of thinking is almost like saying, "I know the Bible is law but our church has no rule about that situation. So it is OK to do it." Am I wrong or am I making a a big deal out of a dumb situation? Just wondering.

God bless, Joe B
