A-Rod and Steroids

A good amount of Yankee fans seem to forgive A-Rod for his involvement with steroids. Why is it only A-Rod's name that was exposed out of the 104 positive tests? Obviously he was being targeted. Are you telling me there weren't any Red Sox in that 104?

I'm not condoning A-Rod's use of steroids, but I am saying he was 1 of 104 and his to be the only name plastered all of the newspapers is unjust. All of those names should be released by Major League Baseball and the Union. Everyone who cheated should be exposed. Not only would it point out who cheated, but it was clear the names of the players who were clean during this time period.

Remember how everyone said Jeter was the 3rd best shortstop behind Garciaparra and A-Rod? Jeter couldn't hit homers like they did and his offensive statistics were not as gaudy. Defensively people claimed Jeter's range wasn't as good. Today, he's the only one left standing out of the 3. There are probably other players like Jeter who didn't use steroids and the only way they'll receive credit for playing by the rules is to release the names of the 103.
