Selena Roberts' book: "A-Rod" release May 12

April 7, 2009

Selena Roberts' unauthorized expose on A-Roid titled "A-Rod" was originally planned for May, then was moved up to mid-April after Roberts, a Sports Illustrated reporter, broke the news that the Yankees slugger had tested positive for steroids back in 2003. A-Roid subsequently confessed...sort of. Blamed it on the fact that he was young...it was the culture...they weren't banned substances...and wishes he had had time to go to college. Problem being he was 26-28 when he used them. The book is evidently now completed and has been sent to the printer. In his Peter Gammons interview A-Roid expressed a lot of anger for Roberts who he dismissively referred to as "this lady".

Publisher HarperCollins. Releases date May 12. Wonder how many pre-orders there are and if Bud Selig got an advance copy.
