I'm one of those people that don't think the steroid players should be in the Hall Of Fame. Most should be there, but I think this is proper punishment for these cheaters.So the baseball Hall Of Fame will be without some of the biggest names in history. Think about it.The all...

Alex Rodriguez looks as fresh as ever, which is great news for the Yankees. It's not very good news for Rafael Palmeiro and Harmon Killebrew, who are A-Rod's next two targets on the all-time home run list now that he's moved past Reggie Jackson.
