Alex Rodriguez was on steroids, according to a report on SI.com. This is the worst possible news for baseball, considering what A-Rod means to the game.He was supposed to be the one to cleanly break Barry Bonds home run record. He was supposed to be the one to go down in the record books as maybe the greatest player to ever live. He was supposed to be the man that, despite the ridiculous flack he had taken up to this point, that people would remember for generations as the modern day Babe Ruth.
Not anymore. This news is disastrous for baseball. Just completely and utterly disastrous.
What does baseball do now? The suspicions were there despite the Mitchell Report that other major names skated through cleanly. Now that A-Roid has been fingered, who's next? This black cloud will follow every player in baseball around when pitchers and catchers report next week.
And, what will A-Roid say to the media? How will he spin this one? Will he deny it? Will he apologize? He denied this in the past in an interview with Katie Couric on CBS:
What a colossal disaster for baseball.
