Born in New York, favorite team growing up was the New York Mets, lived in Miami, educated at the University of Miami, and is currently payed by the New York Yankees (and couple other American teams), and despite all these American statistics Alex Rodriguez chose to play for the Dominican Republics national team a few years ago. This may not be important to anyone’s life or to sports in general but since A-rod has been in the news lately I thought it was interesting that this year he will be playing for the United Sates, which only makes sense to me honestly. You were born and bread here, educated here and you making your living here (10 year $275 mill most in MLB history) it’s only right that you show some loyalty to your country and play for the team.
What does anyone think of A-Rod since his steroid controversy? Is he still the greatest Baseball player to play the game? Are all of his many accomplishments still holding weight or do they mean less now that we know he juiced up and had advantages? Just curios to know your opinions.

A-Rod is a tough subject for me. I wrote about his situation here, but that was before his new story received more scrutiny. I wish he was more honest and sincere in his apology.
