One of 13 players suspended in baseball’s latest steroid scandal Monday, 38-year-old Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez stepped into the batter’s box to face White Sox left-hander Jose Quintana as darkness fell at U.S. Cellular Field.
The crowd let him have it, just as Commissioner Bud Selig had earlier with a 211-game suspension. Fans booed, jeered and held up derogatory signs as Rodriguez played for the first time since January hip surgery. He has until Thursday to file an appeal or step away, quite possibly forever, even though his record-setting contract runs through 2017.
