It’s hilarious to watch such a spoiled, and egocentric, athlete struggle on the world biggest stage. I can’t remember another example of a superstar being disliked by the media, fans, and fellow ballplayers. It seems everyone is reveling in his misery and he’s too arrogant to illicit any sympathy…it’s only going to get worse and the Yanks might be forced to trade him in the off-season. In fact, considering the Rangers are paying like 8-9 million of his contract it’s not inconceivable that there will be a lot of interested parties. A-Rod is the anti Big Papi.
