PHOENIX – Portland Trail Blazers rookie guard Rudy Fernández made history when he was announced last month as the first-ever international participant in the NBA’s All-Star slam dunk contest.
With all of the steroid allegations that is going on with Alex Rodriguez, Miguel Tejada, Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, etc, are there any real Baseball Heroes anymore. Baseball has always been the one sport that values its records and have their heroes revered. Babe Ruth, Hank Aaron, Mickey Mantle, Roberto Clemente, Willie Mays, Jackie Robinson, these men represented what was once good about the sport now it's being questioned? Who really suffers from this? Yes, the player, the team, the sport, but what about th eyoung kids? The ones who look up to these players now realizes that they are not legit players, but cheaters.
Do you think Baseball still has heroes or is the game tarnished for life?
NY Yankee third baseman, Alex Rodriguez just confessed to using steroids. This is again, another distraction that the Bronx Bombers will have to deal with as they concentrate on trying to build a championship team. What do you think the Yankees should do with Alex Rodriguez? What if anything should the league do?
NY Daily News columnist Bill Madden has a suggestion for the Yankess, do you agree?

Washington, DC - Should we pity Alex Rodriguez? The three-time MVP, owed $275 million over the next nine years, has been exposed as a steroid user, the latest in Major League Baseball's endless series of anabolic agonists. The creative minds at the New York Post summed up the mood of the moment with one blaring headline: "A-Fraud." ESPN senior writer Jayson Stark was no less overwrought; his headline proclaimed, "A- Rod Has Destroyed Game's History."
