Its entertaining, not as much as if he was clean, but still entertaining.

Okay so my follow up question is
How come NO ONE not on Baseball Tonight, Sportscenter, MLB Tonight etc etc etc none of these baseball pundits ever bring it up during one of these live look in segments???
I mean seriously how can you sit there with a straight face and not bring up the PEDs???
Had A Rod never gotten caught I'd be really stoked about all this. I'd make more of an effort to catch his ABs.
I feel like I'm being robbed of what should be a great baseball moment.
Big J brought up good points there on page 1. I would also of course add that aside from PED use for ARod being old news, it also doesnt serve ESPN to bash him or even talk about the negativity. That just undervalues the 600 milestone and ESPN does not want that, as you may have already noticed they are attempting to bleed this to death. Viewers wont tune in if they hear ESPN making 600 look ho-hum.
With that all said though the obvious factor as many in here have already said is that 600 HRs is still a big deal but it is not a once-in-a-lifetime deal. That's a major factor. We've all been over how roids have changed the game but it also is still amazing to see:
As of 1999 there were only 15 members of the 500 HR club in the 100+ year history of MLB. It was a sacred thing that everyone fawned over and you were a god if you got to that.
Then just from 1999 to 2009 10 members joined. We now have 25 members of the 500 club. Of these 10 new ones 7 of them have already been caught juicing.
Still with that said, only six players ever have gotten to 600 HRs. It's no joke. However ARod makes it looks like a farce to some people simply because he just turned 35 today.
