Rodriguez Back on the Attack With the World Series over, Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez resumed his criticism of Major League Baseball and Commissioner Bud Selig on Thursday for the investigation that led to a 211-game suspension he is trying to overturn. How can the gross, ongoing misconduct of the M.L.B. investigations division not be relevant to my suspension, when my suspension supposedly results directly from that division's work? Rodriguez said in a statement. M.L.B. suspended Rodriguez on Aug. 5, citing violations of its drug agreement and labor contract, but he was allowed to keep playing pending a determination of the grievance. The next session is Nov. 18. Rob Manfred, baseball's chief operating officer, said in a statement, "Mr. Rodriguez's use of P.E.D.s was longer and more pervasive than any other player, and when this process is complete, the facts will prove that it is Mr. Rodriguez and his representatives who have engaged in ongoing, gross misconduct."
