We’ll look at how these drugs have changed baseball and what the impact may be on the next generation of young athletes. Laura's guests are Vin Sylvia, Deputy Managing Director of Sports for the New Hampshire Union Leader and Sunday News and Peter Roby, Director of the Center for the Study of Sports in Society at Northeastern University. We'll also hear from Dennis McManus, Head Baseball Coach at Plymouth State University.
