Because Alex Rodriguez can (finally) put this on his bookshelf

July 6, 2015

Or his daughters’, as he claims.

“Ballhawk” Zack Hample has agreed to give the 3,000-hit ball to the Yankees’ DH.

In the case of two wrongs not making a right, I was always in Rodriguez’s corner when it came to being paid for achieving milestones. No one held a gun to the Yankees when they agreed to pay $6 million when he hit his 660th home run. To say after they fact they didn’t approve of how he did it as a stand for morality struck me as BS. If that’s the case, how many wins are they willing to give back, how many titles because players like him and Roger Clemens “may not” have been on the up and up?

Okay, climbing down off the soap box now…

Hample has already written a handful of books on baseball. Wonder if a fourth is in the offing?
