I don’t care how much you hate A-ROD – hitting a player intentionally is not right. I’m not talking about a pitch intended to be inside brushing a player off the plate, I’m talking deliberately hitting a player ON PURPOSE. Play baseball. A-ROD has been hit three times in this World Series. According to NewsDay.com, “The last time a player was hit by a pitch three times in the World Series was 1925.” I understand how baseball fans could be upset with someone who used steroids – it makes the sport look bad and adds suspicion to the game. The Mitchell Report indicated 103 names on the list, meaning A-ROD was not the only person on that list. Get over it. The MLB should use stricter testing and test ALL players to prevent this from happening again. To make this clear, I am not condoning A-ROD’s steroid use.

The Yankees ultimately won the game 7-4. Yankees now lead the series three games to one. If the Yankees win tonight they will be crowned their 27th World Championship. Go Yankees!
