Ripken Wants Answers

In a recent article on ESPN.com the Iron Man Cal Ripken said he wants an answer from Alex Rodriguez on why he used steroids. In the article Ripken states that he is going to make his business to find out why. Now like Ripken i wonder why someone who didn't need steroids would bother taking them. But with all due respect to Cal Ripken its really none of your business why A-Rod decided to take steroids. I'm sure Ripken feels like many of A-Rod's fans feel, angry maybe even a little betrayed, and the relationship Ripken has with Rodriguez I'm sure doesn't make it any easier. But my take on this is if A-Rod wants to talk to Ripken or for that matter anyone he shouldn't be pressured into doing so. A-Rod has to live with the decision he has made in his life and i have no problem with him no longer wanting to talk about it anymore. Also i think we can all agree that Rodriguez has talked more about his steroid use than any other player who has tested positive. So though Ripken says he wants answers doesn't mean A-Rod will open up to the Hall of Famer and as far as i am concerned that's ok. Rodriguez will talk to whoever he wants whenever he wants.
