PLAYERS: John McDonald, Alex Rodriguez, Jorge Posada, Howie Clark
If Alex Rodriguez was looking to distract attention from his personal life, it seems he succeeded in Toronto at least.
With the Yankees holding an 8-5 advantage in the top of the ninth last night, Jorge Posada hit a routine pop-up to Jays third baseman Howie Clark that would've ended the inning. But with the ball in the air and A-Rod on the base paths, the Yankees slugger yelled something toward the Toronto infielders that prompted Clark to back off at the last second with the expectation that shortstop John McDonald had called the ball.
Rodriguez maintains that he simply yelled out, "Hah!" The Jays claim that A-Rod yelled out "Mine!" Either way, the ball dropped for an RBI single and the Yanks won the game 10-5, ending their five-game losing streak.
Not surprisingly, the Blue Jays were incensed, and McDonald had to be separated from A-Rod by the umpire. Afterwards, Rodriguez could be seen standing on third with a smirk.
