Shocking news release from MLB:
New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez has been named the
Bank of America Presents the American League Player of the Week for the

home runs, 11 RBI and nine runs scored. The 11-time A.L. All-Star finished
the week with a 1.478 slugging percentage and a .630 on-base percentage.
A-Rod homered in five consecutive games, tying a career-high, and has hit
seven round-trippers in the last five games.
During a three-game series against the Seattle Mariners from September
3rd-5th, he went 6-for-11 with three home runs and five RBI. Over the
weekend in Kansas City, Alex went 9-for-12 with four home runs and six RBI.
He leads the Major Leagues in home runs (52), RBI (140) and runs scored (132)

He gets a free watch? Seriously? Just what he needs, a free watch. You would
think they’d donate money to a charity or throw it out the window before
they gave a player a free watch. Hilarious.
