Good for him.

Now what would his total be if you took away the 2+ years or whatever it was when he admitted to juicing?

Oh and he hit is to dead center at Yankee stadium, pretty good shot. And there would be no fight for the ball or anything, so it's his if he wants it lol

Probably about 40. Plus how many of the pitches he hit them against were also using?

Im glad he finally got it though now we can stop hearing about it.

Yeah, I'm not really trying to take anything away from him, just being a dick.

600 is a big number.

13 players have tested positive for steroids, I'm sure A-rod has faced one of them.

sorry...I don't recognize it. Juicer, along with Bonds, McGwire, Sosa. Not that it matters but they're not ever going to be in my book of greats.

What's your point? Why would a pitcher on 'roids somehow mean less homeruns? Do players hit more dingers in later innings as a pitcher tires? Do pitchers give up more homers in the second half of the season? I would think a pitcher throwing harder for longer would only add more distance to the average fly ball.

I am glad for him..............don't put him in the same roid class with bonds or big mac...........he admitted he screwed up, when they were not illegal, and has put it to bed and keeps going..........not that I have 2 rookie cards or anything ;)

For the love of god....how many times does it need to be said? Steroids have been illegal in baseball since at least 1991 they just weren't testing for it.

happy he finally got it and can put it behind him and focus on getting back to a better swing and more production. A big final 2 months for him is on the way. On the telecast it was mentioned that if a fan would have caught the ball, he would have been offered an autographed ball, bat, hersey,and hat,and if that wouldn't have been enough,lunch w/ Arod and Cameron Diaz
