Fraser-- at least somewhere in the article wasn't there space for a line about the unethical behavior of the commissioner's office for leaking -- drip, drip, drip -- information to the media over many months as they tried to tarnish A-Rod's already tarnished career?

I'm not a defender of A-Rod and I don't approve of his conduct, but he didn't fleece people by providing supposedly expert information like the Wall Street players continually do as they try to get richer on commissions, nor did he rob or kill anyone. The only person he damaged was himself.
