I have to feel bad for athletes like Rick Ankiel of the St. Louis Cardinals. He had an inexplicable mental lapse in the playoffs and eventually dropped off the map as a pitcher. When he was in the minor leagues trying to work his way back up, he endured thousands of fans making fun of his plight. Last year, after tons of work, he resurfaced as an outfielder, something unheard of in modern baseball: a pitcher turned full time outfielder! Of course, people were ready and willing to break him down in any way possible. They found out he got HGH for surgery in 2004, and all of a sudden his amazing comeback story dropped off the map. I am tired of people trying to tear this guy down! He has a great accomplishment that no medically prescribed hormone can take away.
