I also feel that he wore more makeup and hair products than my wife in his interview on national television, and needs better advice on how to look like a bleeping ballplayer, not to mention a man. Yes, he is a cheat and a blight on the game for what he did, but no more or less than the other hundreds (do we really think that the 100+ on the list were the only ones?) who did the same thing. He makes the most money, sure, but he's not the only guilty party among these millionaires. This test was supposed to be anonymous, anyway, so what was the list doing lingering around the office this many years later? There is no insurance that any player is clean (although I still believe that Dale Murphy was, and with that in mind he put up HOF-worthy numbers... but that's another story). The whole thing stinks to high heaven. It's going to be a brutal season for A-Rod, though, it will be interesting to see how he responds on the field.
