Speed Mtabolism Up

The rise of the so called super athletes has been phenomenal over the last ten years. Many sports people men and women have excelled in their sports and set new records. This however pails into insignificance when you also consider the growing number of them that have either been proved or accused of using drug enhancements to help them to set these records.

When you look back at all the wonderful athletes of many yeas ago that managed to attain record feats without the help of such drugs, it certainly makes you wonder how you can compare today’s athletes with those from another era!

Such is the concern surrounding drug taking in sport many fans have decided to let their feet do the talking and boycotted the sporting events altogether. Major League Baseball is one such problem area.

Although the latest facts and figures show that Baseball attendances are only down by about 2 percent it is a major concern. This is mainly due to the fact that many other sporting events have seen increased attendances. No league wherever it is wants to see their attendances dropping.

This is one of the main reasons why Bud Selig and his science advisors in Major League Baseball are trying to formulate a blood test to test for human growth hormone. Selig along with many others feel that HGH should be banned completely in sport.

You could argue that it is already banned in Major league Baseball but as there is no official test to police this then it is very hard to ban somebody. There is only at the moment an honor system in place which evidently is not the best solution to the problem.

Even if any of the Baseball players decided to use enhancement drugs in their quest for a better performance, it is highly unlikely that they are going to be honorable enough to admit using them!

At least we can still look back to the great athletes of yesteryear who managed to excel in their profession, and do it with pride.

The season of baseball in 2010 has been a refreshing change from those of years past. No longer do we see the dominant divisional leads in nearly every division in the league, and it really does look as if there will be plenty of exciting pennant races as the season concludes itself later this year.

If you look at any division in the league, you’ll notice that the race is close there. With the exception of only one division, every other one has a first place team that holds a lead of no more than two games. This could make for an interesting fall.

To make things even more interesting, there are plenty of third place teams vying for their pieces of the action as well. Let’s take a look at a few of the more interesting divisional situations in the league.

The conversation has to start with the NL East, which has certainly demonstrated more parity than any other division in the league. Just how interesting are things in this division?

It seemed like just week that the Marlins were at the top of the division, and it nearly was. A mini losing streak somehow shifted them into last, while the Mets climbed out of the cellar and near first place with a small winning stream.

The Nationals have typically been the worst team in baseball, or amongst the worst, since their inception. Never have they played in a competitive state and even that has changed this season. This is refreshing to baseball purists, and here’s a team that will only get better thanks to a hyped up prospect named Strasburg.

It’s not only about the NL East though, there are plenty of other interesting scenarios too. How about the Western division, with the teams also playing with strikingly similar records to one another. While the Dodgers and Giants were both competitive last year (as were the Rockies), San Diego has suddenly emerged as a great team.

It’s been a very interesting season and it’s a refreshing shift to see some new faces in the mix. Let’s see where this all goes from here.

The subject of the best hitters in baseball is one that can be discussed for hours, but many people have claimed that Albert Pujols could be the best hitter that we’ll see in our lifetimes.

To simplify this discussion and keep it focused on the modern era, I’ll only be considering the players of the past 30 years of baseball.

It’s nearly impossible to compare players from the different eras of baseball since there have been so many changes to the sport over the years. The fields and the equipment have changed so much that it would be unfair and inaccurate to attempt to compare a modern hitter like Pujols with, say, Willie Mays or Ted Williams.

Since the game has changed so much, it’s impossible to determine with certainty how a player from one era would perform if he were transported to another era. However, there are many reasons to make the case for Albert Pujols as the best hitter of the current generation.

Pujols is 29 years old, which means that he’s still relatively young and has time to improve. At the very least, he’ll likely maintain his current level of play. The consistency of his performance throughout his career is another important factor to consider. Simply taking a look at some of his stats can show us this consistency.

Albert Pujols’ career batting average is .334. Such averages are usually good enough to win a league. His lowest year average to date was .312, which says quite a bit on its own. It was his average for his second year, and his lowest since was .327.

Pujols is also a consistent home-run hitter, with his lowest single-season home run tally at 32. He’s broken 40 homers in 5 of his 9 seasons. These are just a few of the impressive statistics in his career.

With every year that Pujols posts an impressive MLB season, it becomes more difficult to argue against his position as the leading hitter of the current baseball generation. When his career has ended, we may find ourselves referring to him as the best hitter that we’ve seen in our lifetimes.

There are many questions and debates that keep rearing their heads during discussions and the main ones are about sports. One of the most common ones is regarding Albert Pujols and whether or not he is the best ever at hitting the ball.

To keep the debate modern and up to date, we shall only compare Pujols with players we are familiar with from the past thirty years.

Players from the past such as Mays and Williams were great in their day, but the game has changed so much since then comparisons can’t really be made. Conditions and even equipment are completely different in the modern game.

How would Pujols have played in past eras? That’s a question nobody can answer so the debate is pointless. He has enough going for him for us to consider him to be the best in the modern game, so why bother with comparisons with players from the past?

To start with, there is a possibility he can still improve as he doesn’t hit 30 until his next birthday. His consistency has been second to none; few players can boast that they have turned out every week and played like Pujols has, let’s check out a few of his statistics.

Albert Pujols has a career average that is capable of winning a league. His overall average is an amazing .334. His second season brought about the lowest average of .312 and his worst since has been .327.

The least amount of home runs that Pujols has hit during one season is 32. He has played 9 seasons in MLB and in 5 of those hit 40. This young man just keeps raising the bar and creating staggering statistics as he goes.

As every new season starts, we hold our breath to see if Pujols can maintain his stunning form, and he never lets us down. Is he the greatest hitter of our generation? That we can only answer when he finishes playing, but I wouldn’t bet against him.
