The Rodriguez Conundrum

It comes as absolutely no shock that Alex Rodriguez’ name has now been linked with steroid use. Does anyone really think that there are any major league baseball players in this day and age that have not used any performance enhancing substances? One would have to be awfully naive to still believe that.

So how will Arod respond to these allegations? Hopefully, he will take a different route than that travelled by Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens. I expect that he will have no choice but to own up to his mistake.

Judging from the trouble that Bonds and Clemens find themselves in, maybe causing them to be denied entrance into the Hall of Fame, Rodriguez will be smart enough to follow in the footsteps of Andy Pettitte. Pettitte , of course came clean, apologized for his poor judgment, and went on with his life.

So Alex, be smart. Just admit it, apologize and try to move on. Sure you’ll get booed a little more; maybe even at home. But it’s your best shot at keeping that door open. And believe me, no one will be booing when you get some clutch hits in October.
