Alex Rodriguez is drawing the attention of Major League Baseball, again. He is proving that he can't take a hint, again. And he is taking the patience of baseball fans to the limits, again.
ESPN reports the Yankees star third baseman is going to meet with Major League Baseball officials on his alleged involvement in an underground poker game.
The report insinuates the meeting is nothing more than a slap on the wrist for Rodriguez. They simply want to warn him of the ills of some of the company he keeps.
I am not sure, but last I checked, Alex Rodriguez was a grown man. Yet, he continues to abuse the slack that he has already been given. This should be the most beloved baseball player in the nation. The fact that he is not is a testament to the follies he has endured off the field.
Strike 1: Alex Rodriguez admits in 2009 that he indeed used steroids while he was with the Texas Rangers. This is after denying such use in a Katie Couric interview in 2007. He is forbidden to have contact with cousin, Yuri Sucart.
Strike 2: Rodriguez is seen hanging out with Sucart, a former supplier of performance enhancing drugs, in the summer of 2011. The Yankees allow Rodriguez to do so, as long as Sucrt is not around baseball facilities.
Strike 3: Reports surface that Rodriguez was involved in underground poker games. One of which allegedly contained cocaine use, and nearly turned violent.
Alex Rodriguez is a world-class athlete. He is paid millions to do what he loves to do for a living. We would all sell our souls if that was the extent of it.
He is also famous, enjoys the best things in life, including the hottest of women. The only thing that is asked of him is to stay clear of shady areas, and shadier characters.
Rodriguez has proved time and again that he is incapable of doing so. MLB will once again slap his little wrist and make him promise to be good. Something tells me this is not the last we here of Rodriguez carousing with an unsavory element.
At some point, it will all catch up to him. I will care little for what his punishment is at that point. He has finally struck out with this fan.
