A-Rod and Steroids...




Last night on ESPN famed baseball analyst Peter Gammons had the first interview with A-Rod since the news came out this week about him being on steroids during 2003. I woke up this morning and watched the entire 36 minute interview on line, but you can see the condensed version of the interview by clicking right here.

He is the only baseball player found guilty who actually admits to it, which I commend him for. I was a huge A-Rod fan growing up a Seattle Mariners fan, but since, have become more of a critic to the guy because of his , rumored locker room attitude towards team mates and holyer than thou personality (from inside info). Then again I've always had a spot in my baseball heart for a guy who came up a Mariner. I understand why he tried roids by watching this this video clip, but it also strengthens my beliefs that steroids aren't much of a boost since he's had a steady career, and his numbers didn't baloon while on roids. This leads to the question, was Bonds really that good. I think, yes. This is my belief given roids probably helped put an extra 5-8 feet on each homerun, meaning he probably had 2-4 extra homeruns that season, because I'm sure not all of his jacks were not monsters, some had to have barely made it over.

That's my view... I really hope I get the chance to face him in the World Baseball Classic. 24 day's until we have the Dominicans... Hello A-Rod.
