Look, who's kidding who, the guy probably used roids. So did McGwire, Sosa, Giambi, Palmeiro and countless others, many of whom are destined for the hall of fame. But steroids did not make him the most intelligent hitter I've ever seen, they didn't make him a 8 time gold glove winner, they didn't give him a .370 AVG and a OBA over .600 last year. This guy is the best player of our generation and perhaps the best ever and he deserves credit for that, even if the media doesn't like him.
