They just said on the Yankee game that he pparently failed another drug test and was facing a 100-game ban as a second-time offender.
So he finished with 555 HRs, 14th all-time, but it seems that everything he ever achieved was tainted. Another monster career which might not make the HOF.

For once i agree with Joe - unforunately add another guy to the list that "has the numbers" but will never see the inside of the HOF without buying a ticket.

On that list, I think Arod gets in; Clemens and Bonds probably get in.

Looks like a disaster season is imminent for the Rays. Can't say I feel too bad for them.
