Alex Rodriguez* is only 116 homeruns behind Hank Aaron

Fixed.

Hey dumbass, a few points.


1) A-Rod took PED in Texas. They were not a banned substance at the time; he did nothing illegal.
They were steroids to help his body recover from a hip surgery faster, not some magic pill or steroid to make him stronger physically.

2) Babe Ruth was quoted saying his trainers & doctors gave him pills that "made him feel 10x stronger & 10 years younger" late in his career.

3) Willie Mays & Mike Schmidt took amphetamines.

4) Hank Aaron has admitted to taking amphetamines throughout his playing career.

Did you really think your wonder boy Hank Aaron started churning out all those homeruns late in his 30s & into his 40s naturally? Keep dreaming.

Ken Griffey Jr is the "natural" homerun king & would've been ahead of Bonds if it weren't for injuries. He was amazing & had the sweetest swing ever. Still yet, A-Rod is one of the greatest players ever & he will shatter Mays, Ruth, Aaron, & Bonds homerun marks. All while wearing the pinstripes.

Keep hating, bitches.

Arod will suck when it matters.

You do realize Arod batted an incredibly impressive .250 during the World Series the last time the Yankees won it all?

Lifetime in the Playoffs he is a .277 hitter and has just 13 home runs in 300 at bats?

Ironically, he's chasing Barry Bonds' home run record and Barry would would be the one shining example of even a worse post season performer.

Bonds batted a pathetic .245 in his post season career.

Dont ever give Arod credit for anything the proud New YorK Yankee organization has achievd in the Post Season during its storied history.

They wouldn't have won that World Series without A-Rod. Keep hating.

Aaron admitted to trying greenies once. Not to using it. If he did use like you say i doubt he would have lived as long and healthy as he has. I will agree with you about Ken Griffey Jr. Best all around baseball player ever and fug those injuries or he woulda been the king.

So Hank Aaron admits to using amphetamines during his career & he is clean. A-Rod uses steroids to heal from hip surgery & he is a juicing cheater.

Sterons or not he is now, at best, a barely above average player getting paid like a super star. If you yanks fans want to keep touting milestones and worshiping guys you never saw play, have fun. A-Rod will continue to put up 3-4 WAR(at best, that that number will be declining sooner rather than later) while sucking up $30m/year.

I've saw A-Rod play about 12 times?

First you put words in Hank Aaron's mouth now you're putting words in mine? Typical.

"Actually the 1968 season wasn't the best time to present my case. It was the first time since my rookie year that I didn't drive in or scored 100 runs. I was so frustrated that at one point I tried using a greenie that one of my teamates gave me." - Henry Hank Aaron

Yeah. Tried it. Once. Not admitted to using. Which you said in your first post.

Pettite was hit by a ball & is out 6-8 weeks with a fractured ankle & Sabathia goes on the DL the same day with a strained muscle. Ouch.

[pOpCoRnPoPpEr]

Yanks won 5 in a row but CC is out for a couple weeks Pettite is out for a couple months. Injuries are killing the staff.

[pOpCoRnPoPpEr]

Yanks field 3 AL starters : )

Jeter
Cano
Granderson



Yanks also trade for righthanded pitcher Chad Qualls. Meh but will see how he plays out.
