And, do it without steroids.<br>As for the home-run rate not being easily explained---hogwash. Players of yesteryear never touched a weight. Besides Roger Maris (61 in 1961) and Babe Ruth (60 in  27), there was Jimmie Foxx (58 in  21), Hank Greenberg (58 in  38), Hack Wilson (56 in  30), Ralph Kiner (54 in  49), Mickey Mantle (54 in  61), Willie Mays (52 in  65) George Foster (52 in  77) and Johnny Mize (51 in  47). What would have happened if they had been on a solid strength and conditioning program? Also, most of these old-timers played eight fewer games than are played now. <br>Each year more and more players come into baseball with more and more strength and conditioning experience. Many high school players are stronger right now than many major league players have ever been and have reached these strength levels without steroids. Every baseball organization has a strength and conditioning coach. Ten years ago most did not. With or without steroids, there will be more and more home runs hit in the future. <br>How widespread is the problem?<br><br>Atlanta pitcher and NL player representative Tom Glavine said,  Most players admit something has to be done. Steroid use might not be as widespread as Canseco claimed.  I would bet virtually everything I have that it s not, but players said they know there are some using performance enhancing drugs. <br>The Astros Lance Berkman,le model. To help instill this belief in his athletes he has established a pen pal program in which kids from the nearby elementary schools write letters to the football players at Liberty Center.  It s good for the high school kids to see that these younger kids are constantly looking up to them, says Lingruen.  Even after they graduate they have to realize that they are role models, whetR(F\R_E)LChRN=iLBi6t(=iM&yG(ϥ%PiÎO4iԢ!A4yii4MfgRh1!RP4p7)å'jCEΛO?zzJP957MjOjqIJz q/ Gրғ)@ /J {SiHz{PҌRvHix!(j@ A+tbSE/qMhRE!E pQB=hQ@ Gj(4(ǥ!E Z({QE#PzE8w=(QEteams and Utah liked her instantly.</P> <P>"I did not train with weights in high school," recalled Coach Taylor.&nbsp; "But now, strength and conditioning is having a tremendous impact on women's basketball.&nbsp; When I was at Texas Southern from 1980 to 1984 I did a combination of free weights and machines but not a lot.&nbsp; We did not have scheduled workouts and stretching was not big but it is now.&nbsp; If I had lifted correctly and known what to do back then I might be playing in the WNBA instead of coaching," she said laughing.</P> <P>At Northeastern Illinois, Coach Taylor did not have a formal strength program in her first year.&nbsp; "We didn't do Squats and Cleans but then I got a stength coach, Ed Lopez, who had a tracn the long term. If I wanted to be a pennant contender year after year, I would insist that my players not go near steroids. Then we would have the advantage. In August of 2002, major league players voted to accept testing for steroids. This is further evidence that Caminiti and Canseco were wrong in their estimations of the number of players on steroids. The players are to be congratulated on their testing decision. <br>Benji Gill
