Why You Can’t Believe The Talking Heads
We’ve all heard a million times about how Alex Rodriguez was no good during the playoffs. Intelligent people just assumed it was a sample size issue while the ignorant paraded around as if they knew something about A-Rod’s personality that others did not. Well, A-Rod has now won a World Series. In all honesty I had never checked out A-Rod’s postseason stats because...
A-Rod brings home the hardware, drinks up clubhouse fun
NEW YORK — It only took six seasons with the Yankees and 16 years overall, but Alex Rodriguez(notes) can finally call himself a World Series champion. The controversial third baseman is no longer among the greatest players to never win a title — sorry Ernie Banks, Dan Marino and Patrick Ewing! — and the relief on A-Rod's face was visible in the champagne celebration that followed...

Immaculate Redemption
I’ve alluded in the past to the parallels in media and fan perception of both Alex Rodriguez and Rich Rodriguez. While their shared surname is quite likely a coincidence, they certainly can relate to each other when it comes to stereotypes. Alex Rodriguez has been one of baseball’s villains ever since he signed a $252 million contract with the Texas Rangers nine years ago. Before...
