A-Rod's Thinking Path

Alex Rodriguez, the all-star 3rd baseman for the New York Yankees, rcently admitted that he willingly took performance enhancing drugs from 2001-2003. For those of you not familiar with Major League Baseball, taking performance enhancing drugs is against the rules and there are many apparent future hall-of-famers that are in the midst of legal troubles for their involvement of steroids. But back to A-Rod's story! It was Monday morning when A-Rod admittingly said he took steroids for a period of 3 years. He said that the reason for doing so was because of the pressure of his new contract with the Texas Rangers (the largest baseball contract ever signed). What I believe the reason of A-Rod coming forth is so that when it does come down to voting for him as an entrant into the Hall-of-Fame, voters are less skeptical about voting for him since he was so honest (and of course so he doesn't have to go through all of the lengthy courtroom sessions that Roger Clemens and Mark McGwire had to go through). I do beleive that when it is said and done, A-Rod will get voted into the Hall-of-Fame just by the near statistics of his career. But the question that remains is...is he deserving?
