Okay, so there are pampered baseball players and the steroid controversy threatens the integrity of the game.
But Alex Rodriguez has shown himself to be the one of the good guys. He's donating $750,000.00 to the Boys and Girls Clubs of America and to Domincan Republic relief.
A-Rod was a member of a Boys and Girls Club while growing up and is now a national spokesperson for the youth movement.
I'm a fan of Boys and Girls Club, serving as vice president of our county's club as well as president of an individual unit of the organization. I see the impact it has on young people.
I can't help but be a fan of Rodriguez. He's clearly destined to become one of the all-time greats of the game.
But what makes him cooler is his commitment to giving something back, especially to young people who need the encouragement, direction, and hope that the Boys and Girls Club movement brings young people across America.
