If (better living through) chemistry doesn't matter, think about how many World Series championships the Pirates & Giants won with Bonds.
The Yankees
deserve A-Roid.
OTOH, look at last year's Giants. Yes, Melky Cabrera was suspended near the end of the season, but they probably don't even make the playoffs without his contributions over the first 120 games.
I don't care much for A-Rod on a personal level either. If and when he surpasses Hank Aaron's record (that's no typo) I will give it the same creedence I gave Bonds- zero.
But if MLB allows him to play again (and that's still very much up in the air)
someone is going to get him at Big Lots prices. Better the Braves than the Phils or Nats.
I don't take the same position on this as I do college sports. I wouldn't want a known cheater at UT. But whereas UT's team represents the alumni and on many levels this entire state, the Braves
don't represent me. They are just a team that I grew up watching, and I want them to win, whatever it takes.
