It hadn't really phased me because 1 think the game is bigger than that and it can over- come scandal and tragedy. • However,. a few weeks back I was a little shocked that the mighty DH David Ortiz (Big Papi) of my. beloved Red Sox was named in the 2003 PED (performance cnhancing drugs) list. It was a shock to say the least because he has given earlier reports that he had never taken anything and said any offenders of the drug policy should get the maximum suspension setout by Major League Baseball. It hurts as a baseball fan because Ortiz is considered one of the nicest guys in baseball and for anyone to stay clean from this scandal, I thought it would be my Big Papi. It's just another thing base- ball. has to get over and. as fans they either have to look past this or stop believing in a game most have loved since a little kid. I love baseball and I'M not about to let a few bad apples frain my love : for the game. The . game will always be bigger than the players, no matte' what they do.
