Alex Rodriguez: A Look Back at A-Rod’s Most Cringe-Worthy Moments

Shirtless and Mirror Kissing

One of the things that really frustrated baseball fans about Alex Rodriguez was his apparent constant need to draw attention to himself. Nobody thinks that superstars laying shirtless in Central Park or mirror-kissing pics or owning paintings of themselves as centaurs is normal right?

Well, tell that to A-Rod.

Let’s begin with the Central Park incident. In July of 2006, Alex Rodriguez was seen laying shirtless in New York City’s busiest, most famous park. The next day, after a pathetic 3-error game against his former team, the Seattle Mariners, the picture was all over the back page of the New York Post.

In response to being photographed, A-Rod had this to say:

"“I thought I looked good in the modeling picture,” Rodriguez joked before adding, “No, just laying out with my daughter and wife.”"

Now, if you thought that was bad, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet.

You see, at the very least you can buy the story that A-Rod was just laying out with his daughter in Central Park. Many folks do it so why not A-Rod, right?

This next image, however, is flat out just an egomaniac totally loving himself, no holds barred. Originally published in Details Magazine, It features Rodriguez kissing himself… in the mirror

To be fair, A-Rod has gone on record recently saying that the photo makes him “cringe,” but so do we, Alex, so do we.
