When people write, A-Rod has all the answers

Hi, Everybody!
Thanks for "surfing" to AROD.com, the official Web site of me, Alex Rodriguez.
It's been a hectic time for myself, my super great wife Cynthia, my super
great daughter Natasha, and my super great agent Mr. Scott Boras, or, as he
likes to be called, "Arch-fiend" or "Hider of the Light."
So let's "check out" my "Ask Alex" mailbag. Wow, it's really full of questions
from you super great fans!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A-Rod, you're my favorite player, but I'm so confused. I thought you said you
were 100 percent committed to being a New York Yankee. But now you're a free
agent. What gives?
Hank, The Bronx
Well, first of all, I think kids are the future of this fantastic country. I
just wanted to say that. As far as the other thing, well, it sounds like you
were a victim of some bad newspaper reporting. I never use the phrase, "100
percent." One of the New York tabloids probably twisted my quotes around.
That happens a lot to me.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I just read your Oct. 11, 2006, journal entry on AROD.com. You said: "I am
100 percent committed to being a Yankee now and in the future. I don't want
to play anywhere else. I never have (and never will) run away from the res-
ponsibility I have to this team. I believe I am part of the solution to
winning a championship here. I want to finish my career in New York."
What part of the 100 percent committed am I missing?
Hank, The Bronx
Wow, Hank, you really did your research. I'm going to have to talk to the
master about leaving that on there.
Bottom line: I'm a human being, just like you. Well, not exactly like you.
I'm probably taller, much more handsome, and make more in one at-bat against
the Royals than you do in a year. Yes, I said I was committed to being a
Yankee. Out of fairness to you guys -- the greatest fans in the world -- I
shouldn't have been so definitive. But it was a one-time thing, a very rare
moment when I let my love for those Yankee pinstripes overwhelm me.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I downloaded what you said to Mike and The Mad Dog this past spring on WFAN.
Just in case you can't click on the link I attached, here's your exact quote:
"You're asking me what my sincere feeling is. I want to 100 percent stay in
New York. Period. That's it. I don't know how many ways I can say it."
So are you a total fraud, or did you forget about your sincere feelings? Go
Yankees!
Hank, The Bronx
Those are some pretty super impressive computer skills, downloading and all.
So congratulations on that.
To answer your question, I am absolutely sincere about wanting to stay in New
York. In fact, I was just telling Omar Minaya that very thing as he peeled
the skin off fresh Moroccan grapes and fed them to me individually on a gold
sorbet spoon.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've got the newspaper clippings from when you signed with the Seattle
Mariners. You told the media, "I'm 100 percent baseball player, and hopefully
someday I'll help the team win a World Series."
How'd that work out?
Hank, The Bronx
How many "Ask Alex" e-mails did you send, big fella? Apparently a super lot.
But you're right, it didn't work out there. It wasn't my fault. The outfield
fences were too far away.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When you signed your landmark $252 million contract in 2001 with the Texas
Rangers, you said at the press conference, "I'm embarrassed to talk about it
because I don't know if Michael Jordan or Bill Gates or Alexander the Great
is worth this type of money. But that's what Mr. Hicks decided to pay me. Now
it's time to pay him back and win a few championships."
How'd that work out?
Hank, The Bronx
Those were some dark days. The important thing is that I made a lot of cash
and got the hell out of there after the 2003 season.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alex, isn't Googling fun? I just found this quote of yours from December 2000:
"Hopefully, when I'm done, people will just remember me as a Ranger."
Hank, The Bronx
Ranger ... Mariner ... Yankee ... whoever pays me what I demand -- same thing.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For once in your life be honest. It's about the money, isn't it?
Hank, The Bronx
You again, huh?
Mr. Arch-Fiend and me have this debate all the time. I say it's about winning
championships, mostly because it sounds good during TV interviews and I can
give them my Phil Mickelson "earnest" look. But Mr. Boras says it's about
deception, manipulation and bleeding every possible dollar and concession out
of a franchise. He always tells me, "Alex, when will you finally understand
that you can't deposit a World Series ring into an offshore account?"
And I don't have to tell you how the latest federal tax codes make it harder
for a working man to hold on to his paycheck.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've heard you talk about the importance of honoring the legacies of the
game's great players. But when it came time to accept the Hank Aaron Award a
few weeks ago at the World Series, you said you had a scheduling conflict.
How could you stiff Aaron?
Hank, The Bronx
I meant no disrespect, but let's face it, I make a lot of scratch and have a
very busy schedule. Somebody had to let the cable guy in that day.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You once said in a 1997 Baseball America interview that you saw a World
Series championship in your future. "I want that very bad," you said. "I
would trade everything about my year for what [Derek Jeter] had."
OK, if you're really serious about winning a championship, then why not sign
with the Red Sox for less money?
Hank, The Bronx
Because that wouldn't be fair to the other super great teams like the Los
Angeles Angels of the greater Anaheim/Fullerton area, or the Los Angeles
Dodgers, or the New York Mets, or some "mystery" teams that Mr. Boras invents
to create false demand.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Joe Torre dropped you to eighth in the batting order during Game 4 the 2006
ALDS. Now that he's the new manager of the Dodgers, how could you possibly
play for him again?
Hank, The Bronx
Joe is a great manager, and if he thought batting the future career MLB home
run leader in the godforsaken eighth spot gave us the best chance to win that
series, then I'm all for it. Anyway, for $350 million, I'll clean out whale
blowholes at Sea World.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
During the 2007 season you were seen by a New York tabloid entering your
Toronto hotel with a stripper. And last month you upstaged the World Series
when Boras said you were opting out of your Yankees contract. Should general
managers be concerned about your character?
Hank, The Bronx
First of all, Hank, this is getting a little creepy. Second, I pride myself
in being a role model for the youth of the world. Is it my fault she wanted
to borrow the Gideon's Bible from my hotel room?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Why should anyone believe a word you say? Remember what you told your Web
site in early 2006 about eventually hoisting a World Series trophy over your
head? In case you've forgotten ... "I have dreamt of that day since I first
played the game of baseball, and I want the fans to know that this is my goal
-- we'll bring a World Series championship back to the Bronx yet. This is my
commitment to myself, the team, and you."
Hank, The Bronx
The Bronx ... L.A. ... Flushing -- same thing.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You seem to try so hard to make everybody like you. And yet, it sounds as if
the Yankees are almost relieved you're not coming back. Your take?
Hank, The Bronx
Well, they gave me no choice, especially after word leaked about their low-
ball offer of between $125 million-$150 million for five years. I mean,
c'mon. Next thing you know they would have bumped my traveling pedicurist
from the team charter.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You once told the St. Louis Dispatch in May 2000, "I want to be with an
organization that is committed to trying to win every year, that competes in
the free-agent market."
Can you think of an organization that competes more than the Yankees, the
team you just left?
Hank, The Bronx
What I meant to add is, "And pays me $350 million."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey, A-Rod, you can kiss my *&% and go *%@#! yourself.
Hank, The Bronx
Uh-oh, looks like someone's been shopping at the same T-shirt store as
Cynthia. (LOL.)
