I'm indifferent on the subject of A-Rod, but i think the majority of people agree with you...A-Rod and Bonds were fun to watch in their prime. The issue is though the cloud of suspicion regarding steroids (Bonds TBD but A-Rod..yes). The player people enjoyed watching was aided with steroids...Liking a player on the field and supporting every single choice off the field are two different things yes, but when the choices they make carry over to the field and subsequently taint their legacy and jeopardize the integrity of the game you'd have to expect some blowback. Again, I respect your admiration for A-Rod, but don't be surprised if you're in the minority.
