A-Rod drops suits, accepts ban

[PDXChris]

NEW YORK -- Suspended New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez abandoned his fight against Major League Baseball on Friday, dropping his lawsuit for tortious interference in U.S. District Court in Manhattan.

Rodriguez also withdrew lawsuits against commissioner Bud Selig and the Major League Baseball Players Association, putting an end to his battle to overturn an unprecedented 211-game suspension in connection with baseball's Biogenesis investigation that was reduced last month to 162 games plus the 2014 playoffs by arbitrator Fredric Horowitz.

Did not see that one coming.

Man, he is deluded. Wants to make sure he can still be a part of baseball after his career is over? He is more universally disliked than even Barry was, because at least Giant fans had a soft spot for Barroid... everyone hates A-Rod.

I think Baseball finally gave A-Rod a peak at the evidence against him. His reasoning is just a smoke screen. IMO.
