The Yankees will pay Alex Rodriguez about $300 million over the next 10 years in part because of his value to their cable network,
lovelinks, YES. So it is no surprise that the feature subject for the next episode of a new show, “YESterdays,” is A-Rod.
As wealthy as Rodriguez is now, there was a time as a boy when he literally counted spare change after his mother had finished her shift as a waitress at a Miami restaurant. Here’s an excerpt from the interview on the show,
cheap Kansas City Royals Hats, which is scheduled to air after the post-game report Wednesday:
I always thought I was real good at mathematics, because I would always count her tip money. And I always remember,
Sale Pandora Charms, Monday through Wednesday, it was a little dry, it was a little short. And it would probably be $18 to $24. But then Thursday, Friday and Saturday, I can remember counting that money, and it would be, you know, $38, $39, $42. If we ever got to $45, I knew it was one heck of a day.
Alex’s wife,
cheap St Louis Cardinals Hats, Cynthia,
Fox Racing Hats, discusses the birth of their first daughter, Natasha Alexander, in 2005.
As tough and big as he seems, he is real wimpy around doctors or any type of medical situation. I don’t know why I thought the birth of our child would be different. In the middle of the night,
cheap 2009 World Baseball Classic hats, I realized that I needed to go to the hospital. I wake him up. The first thing that comes out of his mouth, ‘Can we call your mother?’ And I started,
Los Angeles Dodgers Hats, ‘No. Let’s wait and make sure that I am in labor, and make sure that, you know, it’s the middle of the night.’ And go to the hospital and everything. And finally, a few hours later, I said, ‘I think you can call my mom now.’ Uh, and the color came back to his face when I told him he could call my mom. And then forget it. I was like not even having a baby; he was the one. The one nurse had a cold cloth on his head. The other nurse had the blood pressure on his arm. And my mother was like rubbing his back. And he is passed out on a couch. And I am there, in the middle of labor. And really,
cheap Cincinnati Reds Hats, I am not being paid much attention to besides the doctor and a couple of nurses. And he is there moaning. In between pushing, I am going, ‘Honey, are you OK? And are you breathing? Are you OK?’
That may help explain why Rodriguez said it was perfect timing that he arrived a few minutes after the birth of their second daughter last month.
Among the other highlights, Rodriguez calls John Olerud the best player he has ever played with; talks about how much he wanted to attend the University of Miami, even after signing with the Seattle Mariners out of high school; and how he changed his approach from hitting off his front foot (the Lou Piniella way) to hitting off his back foot in Texas and New York.

Don’t intelligent baseball players “schedule” the births of their children for the offseason? Unless A-Rod was trying to “prove” is love for his wife after his Toronto love affair last summer.

John Olerud? Seems he doesn’t think much of good friend Jeter.

Even more eyebrow-raising is that both of his daughters’ middle names are Alexander. Honestly! Very disappointing to see he’s in the Venn diagram of “Celebrities who give their kids silly names,” that has claimed folks like Roger Clemens, Brett Favre, and too many others.

The entire Florida Marlin team payroll is twenty one million dollars. That is less than A-Rod alone makes this year. Note that the Florida Marlins are in first place in their division this morning. That is the work of the Gods of Baseball thumbing their noses at the Yankees. The Gods of Baseball work in mysterious ways.

Just an update. The twenty one million dollar Florida Marlins team is 21 and 14 and leading their division. It must gall the two hundred million plus Yankees. There is somethng mysterious going on here.

Sunday morning and the twenty one million dollar Florida Marlins are now 22 and 14 and leading their division. I am so thankful the Gods of Baseball chose this way to make the Yankees look silly. Let the mystery continue.

With all this pablum being fed fans by YES it’s beginning to rival ESPN! This only works in the short term as do those attendance numbers.In the end they will still have to field a competitive team regularly or the “entertainment”mentality that pro sports are afflicted with soon grows tiresome and may necessitate turning the new stadium into a theme park!
