  A-Rod may be despised across the country, but this bat dog seems to like him
  This is Derby, bat dog for the Double-A Trenton Thunder, fetching a bat for Rodriguez during Saturday's game. Look at the smiles on both of them.
  That's what's great about dogs though.
  And on a somewhat related note: It's time for Pete Rose to go into the Hall of Fame. He never bet on a game that involved his own team.

  Jan, I'm with you on the Pete Rose thing. Let's start a campaign.
  I was just spewing about this yesterday. This guy used steroids, is being suspended for 14 months and I heard the Yankees might buy out his contract. WHAT? I disagree with that. AND he will still probably go into the HOF, while Pete Rose is not eligible. I think this is wrong on so many levels.

  I agree, Jody, It isn't a real HOF without Pete Rose in it. That was a punishment way too extreme for what wasn't even a crime. It was just bad judgment by someone everyone liked...as opposed to the present MLB mess.

  Dogs are lucky to be oblivious to all the things we humans have to know about....they don't have to be disappointed in people that are supposed to be heroes and role models!

  Yes, dogs are willing to love just about anyone. And, unlike the BHOF, aren't hypocrites.
  After all, Ty Cobb was a bigot who tried to kill at least two people (that I know of) and he's in the HOF.

  I don't follow baseball like I used to in the old days. I do agree the punishments can be arbitrary. My solution is make it legal for all athletes to use as many performance enhancing drugs (PEDs) as they want. The ones we know about are the ones that have been caught. PEDs are more pervasive than we know.
