and people are surprised? He has played terribly this season. I remember Cal Ripken making it his last year, which was very subpar, but he was very respected and liked, so he was voted in. I am also getting tired of the Chasing Aaron thing ESPN is doing. he has almost 40 HRs to go. He isnt going to reach it this year. Just hold off until next year to start the countdown. It is almost like ESPN feels sorry for the cheater and wants to give him good publicity or something.
