The lifetime ban is a threat to effectively ban him from the Hall of Fame. He doesn't have that many games in him anyway, but the HOF rules state that a banned player isn't eligible. So, this is MLB saying, "You're not even getting to a HOF vote unless you admit you took roids and go away."
You could say he wouldn't get in anyway, but there's a chance that once Bonds gets in (which he will eventually) the rest of the roid guys could get in, too. So he probably thinks he could still get in the HOF. My belief anyway. |

Is there a way for him to not play but still occupy space on the Yankees payroll? That would make me happy, I think.

It will be a shame if McGwire, Sosa, Bonds, or any of these other guys who ruined sports' greatest record EVER get in, even by the veterans' committee.
The league used to say Pete Rose had "tarnished the game", but what the juicers did was much worse, IMO. |

Trying to win is not worse than trying to lose...not even close.

I'd be fine with putting them all in, save for Braun, who ruined a guy's life to cover his own ass.

The cynic in me is thinking its the Yankmees that are pushing his lifetime ban behind the scenes, just so they can get out from under his bloated, ridiculous contract.
The only thing I'd like about him beating the rap is continuing to **** them over. |

Honest question to MLB. How many players bet on baseball just don't get caught?

He was one of the reasons why MLB instituted mandatory drug testing to begin with. His getting popped in 03 didn't count against him though... but his continual lying and impeding investigations is what they are gonna hit him for. PED's will be secondary. There have been a few articles stating that by banning him via the collective barganing agreement, the suspension will be immediate. By going through the PED agreement, A-Rod would be able to appeal the decision and be allowed to continue playing while the appeals process took place. |
