Fame, Glory and Fortune

Sluggin’ Sammy Sosa socked 609 home-run rockets Mark McGwire built paranormal ‘popeye arms’ Bodacious Barry Bonds broke beloved Babe Ruth’s records ‘Stars on steroids,’ they did baseball considerable harm But the time has passed for licking old wounds Wily players uncover new ways to cheat Winning’s never everything; it’s always the only thing Fame, glory and fortune too soon take wing
