When might baseball have a legitimate HR king? |
It might be decades before baseball has a legitimate home run king to wash away the steroids era.Remember, this used to be the most cherished record in sports. Babe Ruth, The Sultan of Swat. Hank Aaron, class and dignity.Who knows if the career home run mark will ever have such meaning again.Now that heir apparent Alex Rodriguez admitted Monday to using banned substances while playing for the Texas Rangers from 2001-03, generations of fans may never get a chance to cheer for a home run champ who earns the title fair and square."To hear all that information is just sad. Sad for me, sad for him, sad for the game," said Hall of Fame manager Tommy Lasorda, who called A-Rod a friend. "I just don't understand it. I cannot understand it. Certainly it has helped him, taking this stuff. It's just bad for baseball, bad for the game."
