A-Rod

By Dalton Del Don – Senior Writer

I don’t get what all the fuss is about. Isn’t the point to win baseball games, not make friends? Alex is such a lightning rod (no pun intended) for criticism it’s a joke. I don’t particularly like the guy, and the fact he prefers “she-males” doesn’t enhance his image too much either. Still, how is this any different than when an infielder decoys the baserunner by acting like he’s about ready to catch the relay throw? I thought the play was hilarious and applaud A-Rod, who is quickly turning into baseball’s biggest villain this side of Barry Bonds. It’s quite ironic, actually, considering the guy has always been so image conscious. I’m getting more than a little tired of all the sanctimonious preaching of morality and the codes of baseball.
