"A-Rod" broke the story on his steroid use, but the rest of the book is assumption and innuendo from anonymous sources. Selena Roberts makes far too many reaches of what Alex MAY have been thinking or MAY have been doing, but has far, far too little. Easily one of the worst buys of my adult life.

From everything I heard, there was nothing in the book that wasn't already talked about ad nauseum on sports TV and radio shows. No point in buying the cow when we got the milk for free.

Seattle loved him until he went for the big bucks. Can't blame him either since he'd never see a ring staying at Seattle. Seems he's turned into a somewhat not so nice adult though. I hope that's not true. Jeeter's the dude I have a problem with. One of the best who has played the game though. Alex is an awesome ball player and was a great young kid coming up under Lou.
