Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa, Barry Bonds, and now Alex Rodriguez: all helped to bring baseball back from the bad memories of the mid 90's strike, and ushered in a new love for America's favorite past time. Now, all their efforts are revealed for what they were: an easy and cheap way to immortality through their use of performance enhancing drugs. A-Rod was carrying the banner for a while, and recently it was revealed that maybe our last true hero of our game had succumbed to the easy way to success. Were it not for several injury plagued seasons, Ken Griffey Jr. would have been our true knight on shining armor. As he still trudges along without the power and charisma he once had, who can baseball fans turn to now?

Last night, the Philadelphia Phillies defeated the Tampa Bay Rays 4-3 to win the World Series in five games (4-1). This is the second World Championship for the Phils…they previously won in 1980…28 years ago. This will be remembered as one of the weirdest finishes in a Series with an unprecedented suspension of a game due to inclement weather. The game was concluded 48 hours later…in hindsight…it was worth the wait!
