Who is this Alberto? Cabrera got suspended for 50 games, but he’s an outfielder. Interesting note: he was hitting .346 when he got suspended; you need 502 plate appearances to qualify for the batting title — he has 501.
Hey—I thought all of this crap was finished when a certain Mr. Bonds was forced out of the game. FOUR years of congressional scrutiny over a entertainer, while our soldiers were about to be killed over non-existent WMDs!
Alberto is the usual Tank McNamara fictional character used to satirize real sports figures. The recent use of Roger Clemens as himself was actually more rare than the fictional characters.

The timing’s off: Unlikely he’d get a 50-game suspension as late after the season as when they hand out the awards.

Just do the Braun thing—fail a test, get suspended, get some guy to say you’re not suspended, play on like nothing ever happened.
