Jamey Newberg’s Rangers
Report recently had a great paragraph on the trade of Alex Rodriguez to
the Yankees. I liked it, and he gave me permission to quote it, so here
it is. It pretty much sums up what I feel about him.- I gained a lot by watching the clips from
Alex Rodriguez’s Tuesday press conference in New York. It helped me to see him
in pinstripes, smiling with Joe Torre, taking photos alongside Derek Jeter,
talking about his good fortune to be part of the Yankee Machine. There was no
point in getting angry at the player. He said nothing to make me feel bad
about my team. He said nothing that any baseball player or anyone who ever
wanted to be a baseball player wouldn’t have said about what it means to join
the Yankees. He was, as he usually is, appropriate. I had closure.
