It's official folks! New York Yankee third baseman Alex Rodriguez is undeniably the most exciting player in baseball. To reach this acheivement, you have to be able to keep things interesting all year around. This guy has had one hell of an offseason. He started the offseason with news that he was getting a divorce. Then we found out he was dating the Material Girl herself, Madonna. Then Madonna leaves him for some even younger meat. After that, Los Angeles Dodger coach Joe Torre writes a book that dogs A-Rod out, saying that teammates were referring to him as "A-Fraud". And now we have the biggest news of all. Rodriguez admits to using steroids. WTF! Is there a clean, legitimate player left in the game? What's next, Ken Griffey Jr. gets popped? Lance Berkman? (Don't worry Berkman, as long as you keep the Beer Belly, we'll know you're clean!) Rodriguez was supposed to be baseball's savior, the one who chased down Barry Bond's home run record and made it legit. There's no point to looking for someone else to be that guy, since there's no telling who's clean anymore. They might as well stop fighting it and just recognize Bonds as the man. There is no denying that after Bonds started on the HGH (Human Growth Hormone), he became the single most feared hitter in the game. The guy was already a great natural hitter, just as Rodriguez was, before he started bulking up. Using performance enhancing drugs (PED's) just made these guys take balls out of the park that they were usually hitting off of the outfield wall for doubles. Let's relate that to other sports. In 2007, Tiger Woods' driving accuracy (meaning the percentage of times he hit the fairway off the tee) was 59.83%. He was 152nd on Tour in this category, but he still finished first in scoring average at 67.79. Now imagine if he hit 80% of the fairways. They would have to make the fairways narrow as credit cards for anyone to have a chance. How about Shaquille O'neal in his hayday. What if he were a 90% free throw shooter. They would have had to change the rules to be able to stop him from dominating. That's what PED's did for Bonds and Rodriguez. It allowed them to put up unbelivable stats, when a guy like Hank Aaron did it by just being consistent, never hitting over 47 home runs in a single season at 6'0" 180 lbs. Think about that.

A-Fraud! Rodriguez Admits Using Steroids.
