20070905 SEA@NYY: A-Rod's two homers in one inning

[@bintang__bint]

i remember watching the Yankees for the first time, they still have Jeter, Alex, Hideki, Damon, Cano, Abreu, Melky, Posada, Giambi, Joba, Mo and Torre as the manager, and also the old stadium is flawless

I saw A-Rod here in Az and couldn't believe how large of a human he was. Not bulky, just huge. I was like 10 feet from him. Got Jobas autograph on my jersey that game too.

[@sandtats]

Went to his book signing (children's book) at B&N, Manhattan, sometime around 2009. Was standing few feet from the elevator waiting to get on line when elevator doors opened and out walked ARod.😯 Standing mere feet from him, I could not believe how big he was, not just tall ( towering over 5'1" me😅) but huge, massive..and gorgeous. Dumbstruck, I managed to say something stupid, and put out my tiny hand which soon disappeared into his.😂 Love ARod!💙💙💙

Yes indeed! The old stadium had it going on. I've given the new stadium a fair shake and I don't like it. Yankee brass let greed take them over and sellout to the "corporate elite class" All the good seats are overpriced, ergo the typical fan is priced out of the market and relegated to the nosebleed section. All those empty seats at field level belong to people who don't care one way or the other....Seats that used to belong to "Real Yankee Fans" that brought the energy and noise, and were always filled. Understand progress, but the "Old Yankee Stadium" was a cathedral, like Notre Dame Cathedral. You just don't blowup a cathedral! But the Yankees did it, and now we have the "House That Goldman Sachs Built".

A Rod was a hoss. He had a great physical body along with his god given talent to play baseball. I personally didn't think the steroids contributed much to his baseball career. If anything it may have shortened it. Once A Rod got the $30 million plus salary his production went down yearly, but this one year he was the best.

[@jordangw23]

i agree i think he was gifted enough to be the best without roids, but unfortunately the pressure got to him, i also think if he handled the situation better he would have been forgiven instead of ridiculed... great player sad finish to his career

[@TheGodsMustBeCrazy]

If A Rod didn't take PEDs, he'd definitely be in Monument Park and 13 would be retired

[@slavicharrystyles6914]

The sad part is that he didn't even need PEDs. He still would've been a terrific player even when not on PEDs. He may not have had the 696 Home Runs, but I definitely still believe he would've been well over 550 Home Runs.

[@Kirsoh]

Arod’s deal with Boston falls apart so Yankees make a move. Most New Yorkers were like Arod is the best SS in the game, But we got Jeter who’s the face of Baseball at this point and our Captain, how this going to work?!
