It will be interesting to see, though. In his first 2 years, he got 34.3% and 35.7% which is right around where Bonds and Clemens started, and they ended in the mid 60% range. While ARod may not be as hated as Bonds and Clemens, he certainly isn't beloved like Ortiz. Maybe his continued presence as a broadcaster helps him some. We'll see.

Or perhaps if his basketball team wins it will also add to his appeal
