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

Mike’s On!

I’m not sure if this category belongs solely to Alex Rodriguez. MLB deserves some play in this portion of this piece since they were equal violaters of the same crime.

I’m talking of course about the Biogenesis scandal, A-Rod’s second go-around with the PED issue.

When Alex’s name was seen plastered across every major newspaper and sports television show being linked with Tony Bosch and his anti-aging clinic Biogenesis, A-Rod sought to share the spotlight with other big league players. Soon after, according to reports, the names of teammate Francisco Cervelli and Milwaukee Brewers star Ryan Braun were also linked to Biogenesis.

Who leaked those names? You guessed it! Alex Rodriguez.

It gets uglier.

After storming out of an arbitration hearing regarding the Biogenesis scandal attended by MLB and Tony Bosch, A-Rod took to New York Sports Radio legend Mike Francesa’s show, broadcast on WFAN and the YES Network to defend himself.

In the interview, A-Rod accuses Bud Selig of hating New York, asks Francesa why he should serve 1-minute of the suspension, and then vehemently denies any connection to Tony Bosch.
