TSMGMF and A's Sportsman of the Year.

When determining who the Sportsman of the Year was going to be, many different themes and topics had to be explored. For instance you had the White Sox winning their first World Series in 80 years. Ozzie Guillen rallied a team of misfits to champs. It just didn't feel big enough The thought of Michelle Wie becoming a professional wasn't given any thought. It's not a story til she wins. SI chose Tom Brady as there's. Great player, great leader, seems like a good person, but he's got so much press already, and lets be honest there just isn't quite enough there. Everyone seemed transfixed with Danica Patrick. Race car drivers are automatically exempt from this award. Auto racing isn't a sport. TSMGMF and A's Sportsman of the Year didn't do a damn thing this year. He tried to sell a book, he tried to be self serving, but during the process he blew the whistle on something that has been plaguing baseball for the last 20 years. He halted the use of steroids in Major League Baseball about as fast as one of this homers got out of the stadium. Jose Canseco did more for baseball in three months than he did in his entire career. For that he's Sportsman of the Year.

Even though you didn't want to, when Jose Canseco outted many major leaguers as roid users, you had to listen. Jose Canseco was the poster boy of, "man that guy has to be on steroids." It seemed like everyone in the universe knew he was on something except the people who ran baseball. We should be applauding Canseco for what he did. He saved baseball. He's turned it back into the game it should be. Only gifted players should excel. They should excel with hard work and a knack for baseball. They shouldn't achieve fake records cause they use a needle.
