AROD was AROID when he was MVP in 2003.

When Alex Rodriguez won his first MVP title in 2003, he was using steroids. Roiding is a big deal because winning awards while roiding raises the bar for the highest paid contracts in the game, which in turn raises the overall contracts for all players, and makes it harder for the smaller market teams to compete.

I suppose one could argue that these roiding players add more excitement to the game because of the homers they generate, which raises fan attendance for all teams, and in theory provides more capital for each team to sign players. Still, what about the players that don't roid?

Maybe there should be alternating fan seating so fans can choose to support the roiders, or support the non-roiders.

Why not just have two sets of awards, one for the steroid users, and one for the non steroid users?

Why not just have two sets of records, onef or the steroid users, and one for the non steroid users?

Why not just have two leagues, one for the steroid users, and one for the non steroid users?

Why not just have two playoffs, one for the steroid users, and one for the non steroid users? Then have the winners of each league face off.

Maybe one day they will invent a bat that when held by the batter will detect any drug usage. Maybe the bat would wilt whenever it detects roid use. AROID swinging a wet noodle at the plate, that might clean up major league baseball roid use very quickly. And for pitchers, maybe the balls could have some kind of sensor as well, making the ball shrivel up when it detects roid use.
