Those baseball players with "Attention Deficit Disorder"...Vecsey, NY Times

As Dibs said today, there's a huge obesity problem among today's children so a lot of them can't even waddle onto a sports field. No mention of this as Mitchell jerked his head for emphasis, pointed his tobacco stained finger, etc., nor of what a great influence NFL players are on kids.

• The NY Times is on board with Mitchell in continuing to mainly refer to the issue as a "steroids" one--that makes it sound much worse for the Yankees. Though today George Vecsey mentions one widespread affliction in MLB I'd forgotten--A.D.D....

NY Times, Vecsey: "Baseball’s wonderful adventure continues: adolescents are emulating their heroes by bulking up their bodies and frying their minds.

• Also on Tuesday it was suggested that more than 100 players are claiming attention-deficit disorder — eight times the national rate — in order to use two stimulants, Ritalin and Adderall."

*********************** These 2 stimulants are of course amphetamines................

• Reference NY Times article by George Vecsey, "Spring Training and the Syringe Generation," 1/16/08

Moral: MAKE UP A FAKE ILLNESS LIKE ADD OR PITUITARY (LIKE PAUL BYRD), AND THESE PHONIES WILL LET YOU SKATE. MLB/ESPN SHOULD BE CLOSED DOWN TODAY.
