Alex And Selena, Part II
Yup, I read the book and I had planned to write a review on it, but Murray Chass did a much better job than I ever could.
For those who don't know Chass' work, he was the baseball reporter for the New York Times for years. In that role, he was also a co-worker of Ms. Roberts, as he mentions.
I agree with everything he says. The thing that struck me by the book is how little concrete proof there is of anything. I understand that history books use footnotes, not sports books, but this book badly needs some footnotes. Anonymous quotes, illogical reasoning, unsupported conclusions, this book has them all.
I have no doubt that A-Rod isn't a saint, far from it, but he deserves better than this. Don't buy the book and apart from the 2003 steroid test, I wouldn't believe much that Selena Roberts says.
