Alex Rodriguez ties Mickey Mantle in home runs: At least he ended the week on a good note
Last week sucked for Alex Rodriguez. First it came out that Rodriguez had been having an affair with Madonna, then we found out that his wife was in Paris with her “friend” Lenny Kravitz, then we found out that Rodriguez and his wife are not only seperated, but are filing for divorce. Damn. I stubbed my toe on a door this week and I was pissed but now it doesn’t seem so bad.
A-Rod had every reason to let his off field distractions stop him from performing on the field, but the Yankees were playing the Red Sox this weekend and he plays in New York. If you put on a Yankees uniform, with those rabid fans, you have to perform no matter what or else you will be crucified. It looks like he’s finally starting to understand that (if you don’t include the postseason).
He hit a milestone home run during their 5-4 win over the Red Sox yesterday. The home run was the 536th of his career which ties him with Mickey Mantle for 13th on the all time list and the fact that he plays in New York makes it a little more special.
“Even one of the grounds crew guys told me tonight, ‘Mickey was my hero, you tied my hero today.’ And I get that so much with Mickey Mantle, him being a Yankee, it’s very special.”
Congrats to A-Rod on the milestone, now he’s gotta deal with that other thing.
