how is the future looking for alex rodriguez? selig had his way, alex rodriguez would this is about money. and this is about ego. okay? if he takes this deal that baseball wants him to take right now, which he should take by the way, he wouldn't play again until 2015. and not only that, he would lose about $34 million. what he wants to do now, play tomorrow in chicago. here's the problem with that. if he plays tomorrow in chicago or tries to, at the last minute, bud selig still could invoke something called the best interests of baseball clause. if he does there, some feel that alex rodriguez cannot play during an appeal and he would lose $100 million. here's the bottom line. the last five years alex rodriguez did play, he was in steep decline. he knows that. if he waits till 2015 when he's nearly 40, being out of baseball for two years, recovering from a bad hip, that could be it for him. that's why he's fighting so fervently to get in there. >> you think he will fight this, he will definitely appeal the suspension? >> yeah, i m

a chorus of boos greeting alex rodriguez in chicago tonight.he highest-paid player is part of a drug bust and suspensions by major league baseball. the yankees star is fighting his suspension and continues to play. this is one of baseball's biggest scandals. but it doesn't just impact the major leaguers. nbc's bay area's terry mcsweeney got a different perspective tonight. >> reporter: i'm at at&t park. some call this place the house that bonds built. barry bonds, his steroids scandal started surfacing about ten years ago. and fans of all ages, and the younger ones, get to go through it all over again. at the little league world series in livermore, it seemed everyone knew about the a-rod suspension. and to a man, a young man, they were disgusted. >> what example is he setting? taking drugs to enhance himself. it's pathetic. >> i've been playing baseball all my life. i'm an umpire at my little league. i'm so into the sport, i can'tñ stand to see mlb players doing drugs. >> reporter: when the youngsters were just toddlers, lance williams co-wrot

just watch the alex rodriguez saga. you have the highest paid player that will likely get suspended this afternoon. the probation reports are until the 2015 season. he's vowed he will fight. he will appeal the suspension. under the drug agreement that baseball has with its players union he can play during that appeal. he will be on the field tonight for the new york yankees which he hasn't been all season. he's coming back from injury. he's making his debut under this huge cloud. you may remember last week baseball leaked out this possibility that maybe they could suspend him under the commissioner's power. that's when the commissioner decides it's in the best interest of baseball for him to be suspended and he wouldn't be allowed to play while appealing. the danger of that is alex rodriguez legal team said if they do that we're going to file a court injunction and that gets the u.s. court system involved. this keeps everything within the sport of baseball but what a spectacle you have a huge super star playing for the

why do you think alex rodriguez, how are they able to get him? >> that's the question. under the joint drug agreement, there's an outline process for how long you're supposed to be suspended. they have gone -- technically alex rodriguez without failing a test is a first offender. they are arguing because he obscured evidence and other things that he's worse than that and they are justifying it in part with the collective bargaining agreement, which is above and beyond how this process is supposed to work. i think that's a questionable strategy. i was glad to see that they are letting him play through his appeal. that's an unpopular decision with a lot of fans and a lot of former players, but it's the due process he's supposed to be afforded under the joint drug agreement. but i do think as michael weiner from the players association said yesterday, it's sort of odd where they get the justification for 211 games and how they figured that out. >> we are out of time and we are going to have to wait and see how this plays out, as you mentioned. an appeal is underway. in the
