It's official...people really, really hate Alex Rodriguez.According to Forbes, the New York Yankees third baseman is baseball's "most disliked" player...and the ninth "most disliked" athlete.Ranking ahead of Rodriguez...football players Michael Vick, Plaxico Burress, Ndamukong Suh, Terrell Owens, basketball players Kris Humphries, LeBron James, Kobe Bryant and golfer Tiger Woods.In the past, disgraced sluggers Mark McGwire and Manny Ramirez have graced the Forbes list.But, really, what does it matter to A-Rod?The three-time MVP has one of the game's richest contracts, he's breaking baseball milestones on a yearly basis and the Hall of Fame, even with its character clause, is full of undesirables.

Via Fangraphs  |  February 10, 2012
First of all, yes, I’ll admit it: I’m eating my words right now. After writing my aggressively-headlined “Good Luck Shopping A.J.

Curtis Granderson, 2012 Fantasy Schmohawk

Via Razzball  |  February 07, 2012
