El libro sobre a-Rod... se volverá a casar
El libro "A-Rod", escrito por esa reportera de "The Sporting News", no ha mostrado fisonomía de best seller al salir al mercado (lunes cuatro de mayo), sino que más bien parece un "best smeller".

Selena era una desconocida, hasta que sorpresivamente pudo descubrir uno de los 104 nombres de la misteriosa lista de bigleaguers consumidores de esteroides. Es el grupo que la Major League Baseball Players Assiciation (MLBBPA) se empeña en mantener en secreto.

Ese nombre descubierto por la periodista en febrero fue el de Alex Rodríguez. Todo se calmó cuando él aceptó inmediatamente que sí se había inyectado el producto en sus años con los Rangers, 2001-2003.
Pero, aparentemente, Selena Roberts deseaba más fama, más dinero y algo más. Y decidió escribir un libro acerca de la vida privada del mejor de los mil 200 bigleaguers y, por supuesto y por eso, el mejor pagado.
Cualquier cosa que dijera el libro, pensó ella, y especialmente si fueran detalles negativos, sería un éxito.
Lo malo fue que no encontró mucho. Quizá nada que no fuera ya conocido. Y entonces convirtió sus páginas en una especie de columna anti-periodística de chismografía farandulera. Es decir, con historias producto de la imaginación de la autora.
Dice que Alex se metía esteroides desde sus años en high school, pero no publica quién le contó esa historia. El mánager de Alex durante aquellos años, Rich Hofman, recalcó que "ese muchacho no necesitaba nada de tales cosas para ser el mejor. Además, era muy sano en todo sentido". Igualmente, un compañero de equipo del newyorquino, y ahora también bigleaguer, Doug Mientkiewicz, expresó que en esa época ellos no tenían "ni idea de lo que eran los esteroides".
El agente de A-Rod, Scott Boras, recordó...: "Estuve con Alex en high school no menos de veinte veces, y jamás ví nada que no fuera un muchacho desarrollándose como persona y como pelotero, dentro de lo más correcto que era posible".
También escribió la dama en su libro que, ya uniformado con los Yankees, Alex se suministraba hormonas de crecimiento humano. Y que desde su posición de tercera base, mediante señas, les anunciaba a bateadores contrarios cada lanzamiento que su propio lanzador iba a tirar. Explica ella que lo hacía a cambio de que también le transmitieran a él lo que venía en sus turnos al bate.
Pero en ninguno de los problemas que cita aparece alguien como responsable de la denuncia, ni hay documentos o gráficas, nada. Solo lo que ella escribió.
Es curioso que no obstate haberse armado el natural escándalo alrededor del libro, sus ventas estén lejos de anunciar éxito alguno. Todo lo contrario, ya se habla de absoluto fracaso.
Alex Rodríguez no ha querido hablar del libro. Ni siquiera ha dicho si sus abogados intentarán alguna acción legal por difamación e injurias.
Pero Major League Baseball (MLB), en otra de las torpes actividades de Bud Selig, ha emprendido una investigación acerca de la posibilidad de que lo del libro sea cierto.
Lo que debe hacer MLB es obligar a la MLBBPA a revelar los otros 103 nombres de bigleaguers implicados en el consumo de esteroides y más sustancias similares.
Entre tanto, Alex reaparece con los Yankees, después su operación de la cadera el nueve de marzo y de una exitosa y productiva rehabilitación por las menores.
Y la vida privada del joven, quien cumplirá sus 34 años de edad el 27 de julio, sigue como la de cualquier otro hombre de su edad. Está enamorado hasta la locura de la muchacha universitaria no identificada, y solo espera terminar el divorcio de su esposa Cynthia, para casarse de nuevo.

parece mentira que aun nosotros, los sere humanos, racionales, nos metamos en la vida de otros seres humanos, cuando la mayoria de las veces no podemos llevar la nuestra. Inventando historias negativas para lucrarnos, y ensuciando asi la trayectoria de personas que les a costado tanto llegar a donde estan.
Me alegro mucho de que esa grandiosa dama que escribio su espectacular libro, no halla tenido el exito que esperaba y que algun dia pida perdon por todas las mentiras que plasmo en esas paginas...todo lo malo que uno comete, se paga con creces.
A Alex, le deseo que siga adelante, y que se ponga las pilas para que continue demostrando que es un gran deportista.
*Le deseo que continue poniendo sus numeros, salud y mucha suerte, que se haga cada vez mejor , tanto en el plano personal, como profesional , que todo lo malo se quede atras y pase esa pagina y continue con su vida aprendiendo de los errores cometidos* nucha suerte!!!!!!
