Published Feb 18, 2009

Major League Baseball fans need to calm down and take a step back from the absolute media frenzy surrounding the steroid scandals.

It was difficult to accept that Alex Rodriguez was using steroids when he was the overpaid star of my beloved Texas Rangers. How could this man whom millions of fans adore and admire take performance-enhancing drugs? Perhaps a better question is how could he not.
