Hall of famer has solution

If you know baseball you have heard of Hank Aron. You know he is a King of Homeruns. Well he has an idea for Mark Mcguire and Barry Bonds. You probably know that these men have used steriods. As a result a lot of feats that they have done, for example how Barry Bonds had beat Babe Ruth's homerun title then was caught using roids and was told that he didn't get the title. Also Mcguire had hit 70 homers in one season was also caught with roids and lost the respect. Well back to the story. Hank had an idea that they should have an asturisk(*) next to their names. A lot of the other hall of famers just say don't let them in. Aron said that he would not be surprised if his freinds didn't let them in. Hopefuly if they hear this idea the other famers will agree with it, because even though they used roids they still were great baseball players and deserve.

Coras turn for injury rehabilitation

Tuesday Cora was taken of the lineup after playing in place of Jose Reyes. He has been playing many games with a torn legament in his thumb. Well tuesday that came to haunt him as he was actualy wincing in pain. The manager Jerry Manuel decided to put in Angel Boras to play shortstop. I guess you could say that Cora gets to take a trip to Florida like the rest of his experienced teammates to rest his thumb and get the attention he needs. The reason i wanted to talk a bout this story was because that he had been batting outstandingly play great and virtualy leading his young teammates because he was one of the few veterans left on the team. Now the team gets to play with 1 less veteran. They will have to fight harder and work as a team to have a chance against teams with more experienced playes. The only bright side is that the rookies will get more expirience. The info was aquired at nytimes.com.
