I hope he passes them all and gets in first ballot.

Same can be said for how much hate people give A-Rod. 75% of the criticism he gets is undeserved and just BS the media put out that the mindless sheep ate up. Case in point? Various articles written by national sports writers attacking his family and laughing at how his father abandoned him as a child.
On a side-note, I've yet to hear a real arguement disproving my opinion that A-Rod is the greatest baseball player of all time. Everyone just plays the "PEDs/steroids" card or bring up names like Babe Ruth from an era where pitching wasn't even half as good as it is now and when there were only white people in the MLB.

Babe Ruth played with latino's and native americans. Black people were not allowed and asians were barely on the map as far as baseball, but Babe Ruth did play with other races...just none that were "dark".
and Babe Ruth's statistics in barnstorming games against negro league teams show that he was just as good against anyone.

Personally I want A-Rod to go beyond Willie 'Corked Bat-using' Mays and break Barry Bonds's record. Just so he can laugh in the media and the haters's faces and go down as the greatest player of all time. Chemically enhanced or otherwise. #ARod4HoF

you should love a-rod
he was a Seattle product and had his 2nd best year there (1996).

Yeah, he was great here , everyone loved him, which is one of the reasons he's hated so much. After he lead our team to the 2000 ALCS he talked about wanting to stay here then he dipped out to shithole Texas (at the time) cause they offered him the most money. Now, you can't fault a guy too much for doing that, but he was just such a phony about the entire thing, and whined about how we didn't want to keep him when that was BS. People would've already been pissed at him, but the ugly exit made it worse. His first time back with Texas was a complete circus, people threw monopoly money and all types of other shit on the field and booed him to shit. It's been similar every trip back too. Seattle was ahead of the curve on this one.

You make good points. But at the same time he brings a lot of it on himself. Contrast him with a guy like Jeter whose done the whole NY thing- being out in the party scene, dating models, etc, people rarely bash him because he never shoots himself in the foot like A-Rod continues to do.
