No wait...that actually WAS A-Rod.
May 30, with a two-run lead at the bottom of the 9th, Yankee's Jorge Posada popped up along the third base line near 3B Howie Clark. As he chased down the fly ball A-Rod screamed at him from the dugout, causing him to stop pursuit and let it drop safely for a run-scoring single. The Blue Jays were obscenely pissed off, so the umps stepped in to regulate.
A-Rod claimed he yelled "HA!"...Clark said he heard a call for the ball. Either way this probably wasn't the BEST way for Alex Rodriguez to improve his media image. Dude is already dogged by everyone including his own teammates, who didn't really back him on this one. Not even NY's Switzerland-man himself Johnny Damon:
"[I didn't know we could do that,]" says Damon.
Barry Bonds, Charlie Sheen, and Tommy Lasorda support the move. Richie Sexon, Aaron Miles, and Chone Figgins oppose it. Either way you can go ahead and add this antic to the "dooshbag, purse carrying, hair highlighting robot answering pansy" (courtesy of Dustin TWR) not to mention glove slapping club distracting lady of the evening 'i-prefer-the-she-male-type' (courtesy of one secret stripper insider) grab bag of A-Rod's repetoire. You could probably slide on this if you're 10. Or a Kansas City Royal. But not a Yankee. And not if you're A-Rod. So brilliant move on the path to becoming sport's media's next Barry Bonds, A-Rod.
