Alex Rodriguez is looking forward to the beginning of the appeal of his 211-game suspension for violating the joint drug agreement and the collective bargaining agreement.
"Let's get it on," Rodriguez said. "It starts on Monday. We've got to face it head on."
Rodriguez and his team of lawyers will start the appeals process in front of the three-man panel at Major League Baseball's offices in Manhattan. The hearing is expected to take five days.
Then the group is expected to decide within the next 25 days if it will either uphold, reduce or overturn the suspension.
