There was a lot of buzz on the sports highlight shows this morning as Alex Rodriguez approaches Willie Mays on the all time list of home runs. It seems everyone has forgotten or maybe already forgiven the fact that he just came off a year's suspension for using performance enhancing drugs.
Whenever they show the all time list lead by Barry Bonds, another well known chemically enhanced slugger, it makes me wonder: where are the asterisks? Half of those names got there with chemical help while Hank Aaron got there under death threats and more than half of the country not cheering him on.
Major League Baseball has such a rich history it's a shame they don't separate the legitimate record holders from the cheaters. I for one won't be cheering for A-Rod no matter how far up the list he travels.
Way to go Yankees for holding the 6 million.
