Bonds leading the corruption of the American pastime
By: Luke Gublo

For as long as there has been baseball, there has been corruption within the sport. While touting itself as America�s pastime, it has not been without its vices. For instance, one can�t help but think of the 1919 Chicago White Sox. While considered the best team in Major League Baseball that year, they went on to lose the World Series to the Cincinnati Reds. The following year, after appointing Kenesaw Mountain Landis to be commissioner, Major League Baseball investigated and banished eight players from the game, including �Shoeless Joe Jackson.�
