A-Rod Confesses to Steroids

What do you think of this? It seriously made me lose all faith in anyone being a natural player and I think anyone could be taking steroids. I wanted him to beat the all time home run record but at this point I don't even care anymore.

It wasn't surprising. Canseco already mentioned it in his book, and hate him or love him, his book is starting to gain credibility with how accurate he's been so far.

As far as A-Rod actually confessing, it's a good start and at least he's not living in denial like Big Mac and Bonds. He still has plenty of time to have a good clean career. I'd like to see him get involved in the community and have talks with kids and stuff about not doing it, kind of like the steroid version of a Josh Hamilton.

In terms of the home run record, the 1 guy I'd love to see get it, and someone I really think is clean, is Albert Pujols. I see a low chance of him actually using steroids because of just how pure a hitter he is, and even if he did, I can safely say steroids were not as big a factor with him as others because of his swing.

That's funny cause when me and my dad first saw Albert Pujols we were like STEROIDS. The dude looks like he's been jacked up and he came out of no where. I really don't care if people took steroids anymore cause it's more likely they did at this point.

And it's probably my fault I didn't see it coming. I put child like faith into him for some reason. lol

Pujols is amazing as a hitter, and is a damn good fielder too. Plus he is a Cardinal and I think another Cardinal could of got the record....

cough cough McGwire cough cough.

Well Pujols did bat over .300 in the minors, and it continue in the majors. Steroids help you hit the ball further and recover faster from injuries, but Pujol's average is so high and he makes such solid contact I wouldn't say he's using steroids to hit the ball. Also, because he is always hurt and had that nagging elbow injury for so long, he probably wasn't on any drugs to actually get past it.

And the thing about his swing is that it's so level. His home runs aren't these big uppercut towering drives that you need to muscle out of the stadium, his are more linedrives with some lift that actually don't require as much power.
