A-Rod Coming to Buffalo in search of all-time Stupidest Baseball Player honor

Federal investigators, who are probing Alex Rodriguez' relationship with Canada, have found an out-of-the-way location to interview the Yankee star: the rural hamlet of Buffalo, N.Y., located near Rochester.

Weather permitting, the two sides will meet Friday to discuss whether A-Rod took performance enhancing drugs last year while in the national spotlight for having done so in the past.

If so, this would make A-Rod potentially the stupidest person ever to don a baseball uniform.

Yes, he would be stupider than Daffy Dean, Rabbit Maranville and the lineup of the 1904 New York Giants, who believed the white horses outside the Polo Grounds every night were an omen from God. (Their manager, John McGraw, had the horses appear, because he recognized that his players were incredibly stupid and would believe anything.)

This would make A-Rod stupider than Henry Cotto, who once broke his eardrum with a Q-Tip while sitting on the bench, and stupider than Cho-Cho Coleman, who once was asked on the Mets' post-game show where he got his colorful nickname, and he replied: "I don't know."

This would make A-Rod stupider than George Steinbrenner in the mid-1980s, when he dealt for John Mayberry and Omar Moreno.

Good luck, A-Rod!
