"If you drink a glass of water and you say, 'I'm going to be a better baseball player,' if you believe it, you probably will be. I probably felt more energy, but it's hard to say." [/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]The Yankees included five bonuses in A-Rod's contract built around his pursuit of Bonds' record, bonuses that will pay him $6million apiece for passing Willie Mays, Babe Ruth and Hank Aaron and tying and then passing Bonds on the all-time home run list. With 156 of those home runs tainted by his steroid use, the question comes into play whether those bonuses are fair or whether Rodriguez's record would be fraudulent. [/SIZE]

It's been a very difficult several weeks, it's been very painful for me and my family," he said, evading the subject when asked about those bonuses. "I'm here to take my medicine. As far as anything that has to do with today or the past, it's really hard to get myself in that mind frame. I'm sure there will be a lot of debates and a lot of questions about everything I did in that period." [/SIZE]
