jrockster21 Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 http://deadspin.com/5234081/alex-rodriguez-on-steroids-since-high-school Here we go. It's two weeks until Selena Roberts' book about Alex Rodriguez hits shelves, but the media blitz begins today with the New York Daily News taking the first look at the ugly details. There's enough scandal and intrigue in just one little newspaper page to fill ... well, a book. Among the tales contained in the forthcoming tome: more accusations of HGH use, this time with the Yankees (and Kevin Brown), A-Rod's nasty poker habit, his "out-of-town floozies", conspiracies with players on opposing teams to pad stats, and allegations from former teammates—and Jose Canseco!—that Alex was on steroids as early as his high school career. ---------------- click link for entire article I for one am SHOCKED.

KDawg Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Hate Canseco all you want... He's been right on this stuff more often than not though. He's still a tool, but a tool that's telling mostly the truth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrockster21 Posted April 30, 2009 Author Share Posted April 30, 2009 Who is hating on Canseco? And I'm surprised this didn't get more hits. The Barry Bonds steroids thread was 18,897 pages long! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Predicto Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 That is correct, it became a racism thread after about the 2nd page. And there were some understandable reasons for that. Bonds took all the heat and hatred from the average fan, when in reality everyone else in baseball and their brother was actually on steroids, including all the pitchers. Mark McGwire? Jason Giambi? Our beloved good old boy Roger Clemens? All the rest? Not so much hatred toward them. I myself don't think it was racism so much, as opposed to how big a jerk Bonds is personally and how ridiculously incredible a slugger he was. But I understand why African-Americans might not see it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
