I can understand self-centered people but he’s diluted on top of it. The last thing anyone remembers A-rod for is NOT hitting 700 home runs and getting suspended for an entire season. Why would the Yankees celebrate him in any way?

More full of himself than anyone I have seen in my lifetime.
For all his "all about me" BS stats, he is the most un-clutch hitter I ever saw.

And as for shell of former glory, this makes me feel good. They have won 4 titles since Reds last won in 1990. However, I'm sure they will figure out how to right their ship. Yankees owner is still better than the Reds owner. Sent from my SM-G9900 using Tapatalk

I think A-Rod might be the most insecure "elite" athlete in history.
I'm still shocked after all these years that he even agreed to move over to 3rd base from SS, to accommodate Derek Jeter, when he came to the Yankees to begin with. That was the only way that trade was ever going to happen, so it also shows how much he wanted to be "loved" by New York. I'm a Yankee fan, and even I'm surprised at the accumulated statistics that A-Rod put up while with the Yankees...so a part of me says he may have a point. A bigger part of me says "hell no", for many of the reasons already illustrated in this thread. He might be more popular if he actually owned up to his "villain" status, but his need to be loved, adored, and paid attention to by everybody in his orbit...just makes him all the more insufferable. I'm pretty convinced the only reason he only dated "celebrities" for so long, was because he thought it kept him "relevant"...not because he was ever in love with any of them...and I think they all figured that out about him at some point.

Both A-Rod and Clemens were likely taking PED's of some sort, while with the Yankees...but I believe most Yankee fans have much more positive thoughts about Clemens.......who was also a bit of a villain, but never pretended to be a good guy about it.
Clemens was kind of an asshole...but A-Rod was a vain, insecure, backstabbing asshole, and nobody really likes that in a personality.

A-Rod
Fun! I rarely miss out on an opportunity to bag on this douche (that HAS
to be worth some points)... A-rod is the emperor with no clothes! Amazes me when people cite him as a player who should be HOF. His entire career is PED driven, the whole thing! What a tool. Trent King
