A-Rod

Alex has had more drug tests in the last couple of years than any player in baseball history, and he's going to be 40 in about a month, and yet he's still one of the best players in baseball. Old and without drugs, he's still producing.

Last night his 3,000th hit was a homerun, just like his buddy Derek Jeter's was.

The drugs may have helped his power, but that swing is all skill. No one knows what his stats MAY have been without the juice, but he lost over a year of his career because of it. Love him or hate him, those 3,000 hits were EARNED. Steroids and  human growth hormones don't give you that kind of swing and eye-hand coordination. I get why people don't like him, but those hits were skill, and last night's accomplishment is one most baseball fans should be able to celebrate.

They won't of course, but they should.

Asterisks have destroyed their love of the game.

I don't blame them. I can't celebrate the accomplishment as much either. I'd like to, but. well...

...asterisks.
