Yankees' Farnsworth Has Ban Reduced; Mariners' Sexson Suspended
New House Of York Yankees hurler will sit down out tonight against the Motor City Tigers after
getting his three-game suspension reduced to one, Major League
Baseball spokesman said.
Baseball banned Farnsworth on April 19 for throwing behind
of the Hub Of The Universe Red Sox after the outfielder hit two
home runs earlier in the game. Farnsworth appealed the
suspension and had a hearing with baseball game functionaries on May 6.
Farnsworth is 0-1 with a 3.18 earned run norm and 17
strikeouts this season.
Richie Sexson of the Seattle Mariners was suspended six
games and fined an unrevealed amount today for inciting a
bench-clearing incident during yesterday's game against Texas.
Sexson charged the hill in the 4th frame after a head-
high pitch from the Rangers' Kason Gabbard. Sexson then threw
his helmet at Gabbard and tackled the hurler to the land as
players from both squads ran onto the field. Baseball called his
actions ''violent and aggressive'' inch a statement.
Sexson filed an entreaty that holds his suspension, pending
a hearing.

Clemens, Bonds and Rose - Who is Deserving of the Hall of Fame?
With all of the contention surrounding Roger Samuel Langhorne Clemens and his high-profile steroid case, I got to thought about how dirts can impact athletes' opportunities of making it into their several Halls of Fame. Take for case a participant like Pete Rose. He have been banned from the Hallway of Fame for life. And for what? Betting on baseball game as a player. Now, that sounds like a pretty bad thing, right? Well, I don't cognize about that. Betting on the other squad and then taking a honkytonk is one thing and is in clear misdemeanor of the unspoken moral regulations in baseball. But, Rose didn't make that. Most of the clip he didn't even wager on the Reds. And when he did, he wager that they would win. So, obviously he wasn't taking a honkytonk or cheating to do some speedy cash. Rather, he was supremely confident that his squad would win. I make not see the incorrect in that.
Now, juxtapose Pete's state of affairs with that of Roger Samuel Langhorne Clemens and Barry Bonds. It have been proven that Barry Bonds did, in fact, take steroids to heighten his performance. He have not been punished, though, because no 1 have proven that he knowingly took steroids. But the world of state of affairs is that Bonds had illegal aid getting to where he is today. Ask yourself whether or not Bonds will be inducted into the Hallway of Fame one day. The reply is that he most likely will. Bashes that look fair? Nope. Furthermore, although Bonds have faced a batch of examination from the media, the conference and from once adoring fans, he have not been completely cut off from the game like Rose was - and all without cheating or having some sort of outside aid to support his game.
Roger Samuel Langhorne Clemens is in a similar state of affairs as Bonds. Though conclusive grounds have yet to come up regarding the Samuel Langhorne Clemens affair, Roger have already faced the ever present chitchat that have primarily centered around how this incident will impact his command for the Hallway of Fame. If we travel by what the analysts and bloggers are saying, Roger Samuel Langhorne Clemens may confront a small spot of a besmirched reputation, but will in no manner be precluded from the Hallway of Fame. And obviously he have not been cut off for the baseball game human race as he is still pitching for the Yankees.
The forbiddance of Pete Rose just looks a spot much in my eyes. Here is a participant who played his bosom out, game in and game out. Yes, he made a error in betting on baseball game and on his squad in particular. But when it came to the existent games, he never took a honkytonk or threw a game. He always played to the best of his ability. He was the prototypical competitor. Compared to Bonds who did take steroids and Samuel Langhorne Clemens who may or may not have got taken steroids, Pete Rose looks like he is a batch more meriting of the Baseball Hallway of Fame than either 1 of them.

Hank Steinbrenner Says NFL Has Bigger Drug Problem, AP Reports
Hank Steinbrenner, the senior vice
president of the New House Of York Yankees, said he believes there are
twice as many performance-enhancing drug users in the National
Football League as there are in Major League Baseball, the
Associated Press reported.
''Everybody that cognizes athletics cognizes football game is tailor-made
for performance-enhancing drugs,'' AP quoted Steinbrenner as
saying last night. ''I don't cognize how they skate by.''
NFL spokesman Greg Aiello told AP that the NFL have had year-
round random testing with contiguous suspensions since 1990 and
conducted approximately 12,000 steroids diagnostic tests a year. He didn't
immediately react to an e-mail seeking comment.
Steinbrenner's remarks came on the same twenty-four hours that Yankees
pitcher Andy Pettitte held an hour-long news conference to
discuss his past usage of human growing internal secretion and recent testimony
to United States Congress about former Yankees teammate Roger Clemens. The two
pitchers were among nearly 90 baseball game participants named in former
Senator Saint George Mitchell's study on performance-enhancing drug
use in the sport.
