'Alex Rodriguez Park'...Why?

This is a link to an interesting story I found while look at the ESPN website. It is sort of a follow up to my first post. The University of Miami officially named their baseball stadium Alex Rodriguez Park today. The Miami head coach Jim Morris says, "It's not fair to Alex to pinpoint one guy. I'm afraid I wouldn't want to see the list, but at the same time, I don't think it's fair to pinpoint one guy." This is similar to what I had said before about the fact the other 103 names have not been revealed and all the weight of this issue has been put on A-Rod. However I am a believer that revealing those names would be the best thing that baseball could do right now. I also don't know if I would of gone through with naming the field after A-Rod considering all that has taken place over the last week. What do you guys think, Did Miami do the right thing?

Olympic Hero?

Well this photo is probably familiar to nearly all of you. For those of you who don't know Olympic Star Michael Phelps was caught on camera taking a hit of this marijuana pipe. He got suspended from US Swimming for 3 months and his Kellogg's sponsorship has been ended. Did he really deserve this type of punishment? I mean it's only a little weed and he is after all young. Let the kid live his life he is obviously doing something right...He has won 14 Olympic Gold Medals!

What about the other 103?

Now do not take me writing this post as me supporting A-Rod because I do not. What he did was wrong and there is now way to get around it or take it back. His image forever will be tarnished and his statistics forever in question in the eyes of many. What I want to know is, who are the other 103 major league baseball players who were listed on a 2003 list as testing positive for steroids. I understand that A-Rod is one of the most popular players in the league and he has an image to live up. He is as much as the face of baseball than any one player and the league does not need another Barry Bonds situation to deal with. But can we truly believe that players that we look up to other than A-Rod are not on the juice? I myself find this extremely hard to do and I would really like to know who the other players on that list are. At this point I would not at all be surprised to find 5 or 6 more of the league's most popular faces on that list. The media is all over A-Rod right now, every sports website I go to it is front page news, I really wish some media would dig deeper into the list and uncover what has been hidden for this long. It amazes me how much attention can be spent on one person when there are 103 others who we have no idea who they are. For all we know, David Ortiz, Jason Varitek, and Curt Schilling all could be one of those 103 other players on the list. I think it would be in the League's best interest for those 103 other players names be brought public so the fans know who is a cheater and who is not. It is up to the league to not cheat the fans and once again allow them to watch a sport that is as natural as they come. Let's restore the beauty of America's Pastime
