baseball needs a "normal" drug policy. For example, my bank has one of these "normal" policies. If your random test shows up as positive for drugs, you are fired. If that ever happened to me, sure, I'd be able to find work elsewhere, but not in banking. More than likely I'd have a tough time getting back to the salary I had at the time of losing my job. That being said, if a major league baseball player gets caught taking drugs, and the rules say the penalty is a ban from baseball, that means (to me) that you've been canned from playing baseball. You are free to work elsewhere. . . . just like a normal everyday average drug taking joe.
