Did they?

Who did the PED users hurt?

Nobody, really. Which is why I say they don't belong among the worst douchebags in sports. Kind of my point all along.

Who did the Black Sox hurt, some gamblers? Please.

Their fans, perhaps? Fans of the game, perhaps? Their manager, perhaps? Their teammates, perhaps? Their families, perhaps?

Just throwing out some wild notions here.

Turns out the suspension is good news for A-Rod:

Alex Rodriguez appears to be a step closer to coming to terms with the likelihood that he will not be playing major league baseball in 2014. But he is also confident that he will be back.

Speaking with reporters at a promotional event in Mexico City on Wednesday, Rodriguez, the Yankees third baseman, said that the full-season doping suspension he is scheduled to serve this year could turn out to be a “big favor” because he has been playing for “20 years without a timeout.”

“I believe 2014 will be a good year to rest physically, mentally and to prepare for the future and to start a new chapter of my life,” he said, according to a translation of a video of the event posted to ESPN New York.

Rodriguez, who will be 39 when he is eligible to return, expects to return to the Yankees in 2015. “There are three years left in my contract starting in 2015 and I expect to play very well and finish my career in New York,” he said.

Reading that actually makes it sound possible and workable.
The given is that The Yankees are actually on the hook for the
money.

ESPN this morning posted a 30 for 30 short on the A-Rod and how close he was to becoming a member of the Boston Red Sox. Pretty good stuff if you have 15 minutes to kill.

Interesting Rany Jazayerli piece on what A-Rod's legacy might have been not only if he had gone to Boston, but also if he hadn't been granted free agency a year early due to the 1994 players strike:

Lawyers and investigators reportedly having a tough time getting $3 million that he owes them. Not the best group to pick a fight with.
