I’ve never met Alex Rodriguez. This shouldn’t come as a shock to anyone. I’ve never been within 100 yards of the man. All I know of him is what I’ve seen since his debut so many years ago. All I know is the immense talent and skill that’s been on display since his days with the Seattle Mariners, the Texas Rangers and now the New York Yankees. Those that do know him or have come in contact with him say he’s an arrogant, self-centered jerk and they might be right. You don’t have to know the man personally to see that. It was never more evident than when he interrupted the World Series in 2007 to announce he was opting out of his contract with the Yankees…only to receive an even bigger contract with the Yankees. So yes, Alex Rodriguez is a douche. But even douches should be treated fairly.
