Major League Baseball has had some major problems with players using illegal performance enhancing substances. Many players are now known to have used steroids. Sammy Sosa was caught last year using a corked bat. Numerous players have been caught using illegal drugs.

But other baseball leagues have their problems too. The Korea Baseball Organization has had to deal with players using frozen cabbage during the game.

Headline Reuters: There’s no room for cabbage in baseball…

SEOUL (Reuters) - South Korea’s baseball players have been banned from putting frozen cabbage leaves under their caps to beat the summer heat.

The Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) took action after Doosan Bears pitcher Park Myung-hwan’s cap fell off during a game last weekend, revealing his secret cooling agent.

After an emergency meeting, KBO officials ruled that cabbage leaves are a distraction and cannot be considered part of the baseball uniform.

MLB didn’t take any action against steroids, and look how so many high profile players are now known to have been using them. Will MLB act to stop the use of frozen cabbage as a “secret cooling agent” before it becomes as big of a problem as steroids?
