A-Rod is baseball's Lance Armstrong.
When I was in elementary school I would skip classes to
watch the Yankees play Brooklyn. It was the sporting event I really cared
about. Pee-wee Reese, Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris were my heroes. I loved
Yogi Berra even before he ruined the concept of déjà vu.
I can't remember exactly when I decided Major League Baseball
resembled a criminal enterprise, but I no longer watch it. Between lying
pitchers and Barry Bonds, it rapidly began to look like a bunch of rich guys
intentionally breaking rules. "Say it ain't so, Joe," became the most
important quote I remembered from baseball.
Now you have a guy, caught red-handed doping himself. But he
figures as long as he appeals, he can keep playing. Of course, the Yankees
start him, because they don't give a crap what the country thinks of him as a
human being. Baseball long ago started resembling Wall Street. It will do
anything to make money.
