Alex Rodriguez = Tight Wad and Slumlord?

We all know Alex Rodriguez is a good ballplayer and can flat out rake; however in today's New York Times, he's seen as nothing more than your typical landlord and nothing more than "cheap" when it comes to his real estate and charitable endevaors. Not good for a who's image as an athlete is so well crafted, yet whose veneer is so thin. "The veneer of Alex Rodriguez's real estate empire of working-class housing is staged to disguise his inner Mr. Potter... The paint is camouflage for the mottled backside of the complex, where an exhausted appliance sits on a porch, cardboard is taped over broken window panes and missing spindles give rickety banisters the look of a snaggletooth smile. Some residents here tell tales of roaches overtaking kitchen cabinets in a bumper-to-bumper crawl to the corn flakes, of carpets stained in the 1990s and quick-trigger evictions." For a man worth well over $300 million and counting, this is shocking.
