It seems like the best details from Selena Roberts’ new book, A-Rod: The Many Lives of Alex Rodriguez, have already made their way to the masses. Alex and ‘roids. Alex and women that weren’t his wife. Alex is weird. We know.

The latest allegation against A-Rod that people are trying to use to prove that Rodriguez is the worst person ever is pitch tipping. Jeff Blair from the Globe and Mail is disgusted by the allegations and believes this could be more damaging to his image than steroid usage.

Ultimately, these allegations could do to Alex Rodriguez what gambling did to Pete Rose. Nothing less.

Gambling has kept Pete Rose out of baseball and out of the Hall of Fame. Alex Rodriguez will play this season and his HOF ticket is in question because of performance-enhancers, not pitch tipping. I know A-Rod is an easy target but giving a buddy a heads up on a pitch isn’t the same as taking the needle to get ahead.
