Here’s an opening paragraph for you:
Alex Rodriguez tested positive for two anabolic steroids during his 2003 American League MVP season with the Texas Rangers, four sources independently told Sports Illustrated in a report published Saturday.
That’s from mlb.com , so we’re not out here in the wild west of rumorville.
He’s on a list of 104 players who tested positive for performance enhancing drugs in 2003, in A-Rod’s case “for testosterone and an anabolic steroid known by the brand name Primobolan.” (according to that same mlb.com article)
This story just broke and there will be a lot to say about it.
Alex was the 2003 MVP. He was on Texas at the time so no need to drag Joe Torre into this.
What does this mean for the 2009 Yankees?
What about those of you who held out hope that A-Rod would pass Bonds?
Does this continue to help the Jeter legacy and mythology?
Who are the other 103 players on the list?

Do Yankee fans need any more reasons to hate this guy?
