A-Rod continues to lead baseball’s race to bottom

It’s only getting seedier in the Alex Rodriguez saga that has baseball tearing itself to pieces.

As you may or may not know, the New York Yankees player, who is the highest paid in his sport of all time, is in the midst of an appeals process against a 211-game ban for his links to a controversial Miami clinic which went by the much too Scientology-sounding name Biogenesis.

Rodriguez was a supremely talented slugger before he became the modern day pin-up for the game’s slowly-evolving battle against performance enhancing drugs. As many have noted, both apologists and detractors, the New York-born Dominican would have cantered into the Hall of Fame without resorting to even so much as a tablet.
