"Alex Rodriguez is turning into Bobby Valentine before our eyes. His mere smile, the way he answers questions, the style he carries himself at work all generate loathing even from folks who hardly know him.
With Valentine now in Japan and largely forgotten, it is possible the most skilled player in the game has morphed into the most hated. Icy Barry Bonds evokes mainly indifference from opponents, and backslapping Jason Giambi garners more pity than hatred within baseball's inner sanctum."
Barry Bonds evokes a lot of emotions in a lot of people, but indifference is not one of them. Nor did I realize that Bobby Valentine was universally loathed by folks who hardly know him.
But, then again, I don't claim to be too in tune with baseball's "inner sanctum."
I don't even know what baseball's "inner sanctum" is or who's a member. But it sounds kind of gross. It sounds like a place you go to gossip about other ballplayers and get "backslapped" by Jason Giambi.
