BrettSorry i made some typos in there Anthony. I do like the Red Sox and i wanted them to win the World Series. The Red Sox fans said that they don't want A-Rod on the Red Sox. I'm saying that if ARod helped Boston win another world Series, the fans wouldn't hate him. I was comparing him to Johnny Damon because remember in the 2004 ALCS when Damon hit that grand slam and sunk the Yankees ? That must have pissed off every yankee fan out there... then he goes and signs with the Yankees and the fans like him because he helped the team win. As long as you wear the Yankee pin stripes, pin play well and make the team win then I don't see how the home town fans can hate the player. The fans respect his playing ability.
I don't have a problem with A-Rod playing on my team. If he never used steroids, then i'd say that hes the best player in baseball right now period. I think the fans were too hard on him this year. He basically saved the Yankees early in the season when they had no hitting and pitching. He got them to the post season and the rest of the team didn't help much. The Yankees didnt go anywhere because they had no pitching, not because A-Rod cant hit worth a damn in the post season. You know when you're going to lose the series when you only have one good starter in a 5 man rotation and he pitches the worst out of them...
