They didn't pick 211 games....his offenses were so egregious, so much more than the other players, they suspended him for TWO seasons...the 211 is what is just happens to be...
It would have been 214 if it wasn't for the National....they had their decisions made by Friday but they were talked into waiting until the National was over...nothing to spoil card buying like steroids...thus the Monday announcement.
With Aroid, they never discussed the specific amount of games, they discussed in terms of YEARS.. They had that much evidence.
Notice not 1 of the other 12 players is fighting it, since they saw the conclusive evidence against them.
Just because it didn't go through a court or jury doesn't mean MLB has a weak case....they have an IRONCLAD case...MLBPA IS NOT FIGHTING ANYTHING, only AROID is fighting. His ego got hi in this mess and it continues to hurt him.
