I had a interview with the ex-pro Baseball Player,who just so happens to be my hitting instructor, Terry Jones tells me that things can be done right with alot of discipline and hard work. Him being in the Majors during the Steroid Era is pretty interesting because he said it was very exciting, and also kind of intimidating. He always says,"if you cant do it naturally don't do it at all." He explained that some of the guys taking the steroids did it to relieve pressure. And some did it to live up to there big million dollar contracts, and that they were worried about not performing there best. He also told me that the guys that took steroids were probably being given to them by there trainer, because some of the ball clubs that these players worked for actually let them take them because it would draw a huge crowd to each game. As long as they were producing, nobody had a problem with it.


The steroids of that time was making the balls jump off the bats faster than ever, and it was hard to try and keep up with all of that hype. I feel that he's right and that the steroids helped alot of people get through the season and helped them make a lot of records that they would soon lose. But i disagree with the ball teams giving them the steroids just so that they can have more fans come to the games. That's selfish, and it really showed that they didn't care about the players health at all because steroids have a long term affect on people.interaction= Terry Jones phone number,......205-706-9045

  1. Good job on the interview. You have a few typos but that's all. You need to add the MLA citation for a personal interview
