Yesterday had to be one of
the saddest day’s in that proud franchise’s history when they were forced to allow
A-Roid back on the field and provide a soapbox for his self-serving denial of
the obvious. He’s a cheater and has been
cheating the fans of the game for most of his career.
Baseball is probably the one
sport where individual statistics count more than anything even though it is a
team sport. It’s the one sport where we
can look back decades and compare Ted Williams, Joe Dimaggio and the Babe to
modern counterparts. It connects generations
of fans and despite the popularity of football, baseball is intertwined with the
fabric of American life. Bud Selig
allowed the sport to become a joke by riding the coattails of the roided up
homerun contest between Sosa and McGuire to help revive the game after the last
big players strike. He’s still paying
for it with buffoons like Barry Bonds and now the poster child for the era – A-Roid
I know tens of millions of
dollars are on the line but this guy just doesn’t get it. No one wanted to see him back on the field –
he’s an embarrassment to the sport and most of all to himself. He ….just….doesn’t….get….it. Hubris incarnate.
