A-Rod, as Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez is called, was in line to surpass the current home-run record held by Barry Bonds. But that could all change if Rodriguez is suspended as MLB Commissioner Bud Selig said he might be, according to USA Today. Selig told the paper he is also considering reinstating Aaron as baseball's home run king. Bonds, who himself is at the center of a steroid scandal, broke Aaron's record of 755 home runs in 2007. He was charged with lying to a grand jury about using performance-enhancing drugs. His trial is scheduled for March 2.
"This is breaking my heart, I don't mind telling you that," Selig told USA Today.
Bonds and Rodriguez are the latest baseball greats to fall from grace because of performance-enhancing drugs.
On Wednesday, news emerged that All-Star shortstop Miguel Tejada might be deported to the Dominican Republic after pleading guilty to lying to Congress about using steroids. - FOX News Story
Selig needs to come down and come down hard on all of this NOW! This is ruining the game. The lax style of handling it before has come back to bit them and stealing from the President, "The time to Talk is Over, We need ACTION!"
