Alex Rodriguez (a.k.a. A-Roid) just collected his 2,000th run batted in. I saw it live on Fox. He's fourth on the all-time list, behind Hank Aaron (2,297), Babe Ruth, and Cap Anson. It's conceivable that he will finish his career as the greatest run producer of all time. I think he should have an asterisk beside his name in the record books, to remind people that he cheated. We teach our children that cheating doesn't pay, but sometimes, as in the cases of Lance Armstrong and Alex Rodriguez, it does. The only way to prevent cheating is to ensure that it doesn't pay. (Please don't say that Armstrong had his seven Tour de France titles taken away. He did, but he's still living the high life. Would he have had such a life if he hadn't cheated? Almost certainly not. With no college education, he'd be relegated to manual labor.)
