The past does not stay in the past forever. It’s been months since San Diego Padres star player Fernando Tatis Jr. was banned from the big leagues after getting tested positive for taking a banned substance. After serving a suspension of 80 games, Tatis Jr. is long back in his form. Even so, the fans still have not stopped to despise the athlete for his mistake.
