To recap, when Alex Rodriguez was in Seattle, he’d never even heard of players using steroids. But when he got to Texas, he was immediately embroiled in a “loosey-goosey era.” Wow, that has to be the quickest entrance for any era in history.

If only Seattle had media outlets back then, so Rodriguez could keep up with the latest news/Gary Crooks, SR Smart Bombs. More here.
