In these trying times, where every 12 minutes a new video, picture, NASA satellite images comes out of a baseball player with the slightest bulge/inconsistency in their uniform sets the internet on fire, here’s a short video of some baseball players not cheating that should put a smile back on that face.
Good for the Chicago Cubs for letting people know that it’s okay to laugh again at baseball players. You see, these guys aren’t the devil, bad hombres or anything like that. The absolute majority of these guys are goofy dudes that are just trying to entertain the people. Sure, sometimes they go overboard looking for that competitive edge. Players looking for that edge will never change and honestly every time they do, we the people love it. That is until we find out how it happened.
This whole baseball cheating situation is the classic, we want steak, we just don’t want to know the process of how the succulent porterhouse gets on our plate, situation. We just want to eat it and not think about the other stuff. As fans, we want to watch the action and get a thrill out of our sports in the hope that it distracts us from our boring lives.
But we really don’t want to know what it really takes to get sports on our TVs. We’d rather just be blinded and fooled even if we have an inclining that something weird is going on. Then, when the truth about the bad things that had to happen for us to be thoroughly entertained comes out, we act outraged. That’s how this process works. Wasn’t the first time, (minimizing Mark McGwire vs Sammy Sosa highlights on YouTube) won’t be the last time. Hey, baseball people should be happy. Any other year, we wouldn’t be talking baseball for another month. Let’s face it, baseball players not cheating simply isn’t good for conversation.
There will be more videos, pictures, thermal images coming out showing how players cheated. So lets try and sift through all the garbage that still hasn’t come out yet. Let’s look for these little gems that get put out there and just enjoy them. I like that idea.
