Alex Rodriguez

What is up everybody once again?

I am back for another blog and today's topic liked I promise is about New York Yankee third basemen Alex Rodriquez and his use of steroids. When I heard about the news I was so shocked and dissappointed. Alex is in the middle of his prime as a player and is on pace to hit 800 home runs and break the all time home run record which Barry Bonds currently holds. This is such a big story because Bonds has the record now, but with controversy as he has taken steroids as well. With Rodriquez on pace to shatter the record sometime in the future everybody was hoping that he would break the record cleanly and without controversy. The fans wanted him to do this so bad because that would restore the image of the home run record from Bonds. I totally agree with this. I want the all time home run record to be held by somebody that has not cheated using steroids or human growth hormone. Now that Alex has admitted taking steroids his legacy will be questioned.

After Sports Illustrated, broke the story about Rodriquez using the steroids it was all over the news. The big question would be is if Alex would come out and say that he admitted using steroids, or if he would deny using steroids and had nothing to do with them. Well Rodriquez came out and said he used steroids during the 2001-2003 seasons. He spent those three years with the Texas Rangers after he signed the biggest contract in baseball history 10 year/252 million dollar deal. He said he felt pressure to perform at the highest level, and to be the best player ever. He admitted using the steroids in that time span, and he said that he was sorry for what he did, and he said he was stupid and naive. He apologized to his fans in New York and Texas.

Well, now that the Yankee slugger has admitted to use steroids he will continue to play for the Yankees, and will get questioned everytime he shows up the games. I am glad that he came out and said the truth that he used the drugs and that he was sorry for using them. Not to many players today come out and say they are sorry for using steroids, or admit they use them. Now that Alex has done this it will help him in the future as he continues to play to regain his image and his Hall of Fame candidacy.

That is going to wrap up today RitzBitz's blog next time I am on here I do not know what I am going to be writing about, but it will be fun and will be a suprise.. Hopefully everybody has a fun time.
