Baseball professional baseball that is if it has the "where-with-all" the gumption, the mettle and intestinal fortitude while the whole world is watching to see just how tough these boys of summer can be. Baseball and steroids can be overcome.
Young boys in their teen years were exposed to a game called "Capture The Flag" this game or tussle was not something to enter into by the timid or faint hearted. It was really a contest of brute toughness of body and a will to bring the flag to the winning side.
Lets suppose every baseball team suiting up and stepping across that chalked foul line and taking their positions on the diamond does so with part of the Boy Scouts oath firmly fixed in their minds. Physically fit,mentally awake and morally straight. Now with that resolve we would and could and definitely should slap this growth hormone monkey from baseballs back.
Alright old shoe saying is not doing but the proof is in the doing. This is where Capture the Flag becomes a reality. Winning major sport challenge there is a commonly known but truthful thought of "Now we get to go to Disney Land."
How about a one bigger and better trip with much more goodwill and World Class importance attached. Come baseballs winner of the coveted World Series title by documented and proven tough players be treated to a symbolic "Capture the Flag." tour.
The United States of America throughout our illustrious history have Flown a Friendship Flag from the Warships and Navy Craft entering foreign ports. Now let the boys of summer our World Series Champion team board a Navy vessel be it one of our Carriers, Battleships or Cruisers and do a friendly Port of call around the world.
What we will in essence be doing is treating our World Class Winners to a visit and a goodwill mission of untold importance. We will dub the Cruise our "Capture the Flag" and bring back to the shores of America a friendly symbolic Flag.
What Victory are we celebrating? The removal of a scourge generated in our club houses and playing fields of baseball with a reward and sharing the outcome with the World. Now what are you going to do that you are the Champions? Now we are on our way to carry our colors to a foreign port and symbolically "Capture the Flag."
Professional Baseball do not let this issue of having a black eye and not being smarter than a fifth grader overrun your will to toughen up grit your teeth show what you can do lets "Capture the Flag."
