Note to Alex and Len Berman

I just watched my favorite NY TV sports anchor, Len Berman, talk about Alex. It’s as shame the media is looking for the bad and not the good. Yes, we all want to play fair in life, but let’s face it, Alex is human! Cut the guy a break. He admitted what he did and that’s that/ What Len and others should be saying is that Alex needs to do major community service with kids to make sure they understand that he was wrong and they should never partake in drugs of any kind. As a sports psychologist, I do not condone Alex’s use of enhancement drugs, but I also know that his hard work since joining the Yankees is surpassed by no major league player. As a human being, I am very willing to accept his admission and move on. Let’s face it; Ruth had hot dogs, beer, cigars and other health enhancing products. Let’s put an asterisk next to his 60 home runs. OK, I’m kidding. But, we can asterisk anything if we want to. Media, Alex be. He’s one heck of a player and more of a man than most of us.
