[@21Pescatore]

Joe, I want to say that seeing you as an interviewer has given me respect for you. Your interview with Pete Rose was also great, keep up these great interviews!

[@Torontolaw]

“I don’t trust the banks I trust my mattress” love it..😂😂😂😂😂

[@rangelet]

Alex made his amends, apologized and accepted his mistakes, even if it was not right away. In the end, he was a phenomenal athlete that made a mistake and paid accordingly. Great interview and great conversation!

[@juliozuniga9167]

I know someone who grew playing with A-Rod in Miami and he said, from a young age you can tell he was special!

[@KHallesy]

So you do not think he was only special because of steroids. I watched him in Seattle and he seemed amazing. But I figured his entire career was only made by taking steroids. I was wondering if he could even play without them. When you have been caught 3 times cheating the game it does not make you baseball great it makes your entire career a cheat and he should be returning the money and making amends!

[@ericerickson7544]

Awesome interview A Rod displayed. sincere humbleness.

[@panivino28]

Being a Miamian for most of my life. I have followed Alex's baseball career. On 32nd Avenue near US 1, I pass through Alex's field. Great interview. Good job!!!

[@uncjim]

Great interview. It’s enjoyable to get to know this man.

@@justvibing2497 might I also ad Comiskey, which the black Sox scandal damaged baseball waaay more than Pete could ever have dreamed of. Cap Anson segregated the league, but we can’t forgive a bet. So if you want Pete out then we gotta throw out the Cobb’s, Ford’s and the rest.

[@BrianWolftop]

Great background story! Thanks for sharing

Once again, ARod is a genius.... as a Broadcaster he is doing over the top. No doubt.

[@bobbest8627]

Great interview… Softball questions… people grow up… A-Rod has grown up… I would put him in the hall

[@pb4ugo2bed84]

Exactly If I Was Him I Would Sue The Yankees For The Marketing Bonuses That THey Didnt Give Him And They PREVENTED HIM FROM GETTING 700 HOME RUNS!!! He Would Have Easily Hit 4 More

[@usaveteran-retired6464]

A-Rod neglected to mention that he also received the advice to take the 200-plus game suspension from MLB from his first MLB Manager ever, the great Lou Piniella. By the way, Mr. Piniella should have gotten the ONE MORE VOTE necessary to be inducted into Cooperstown/ Baseball Hall Of Fame this Summer! Shame on Alex Rodriguez AND The Veterans Committee for Cooperstown!

[@skaz777]

Ya know, i always liked this guy as a player, and i’m glad he found some resolution, after much embarrassment. But even though i’ve seen him quite a bit on TV, until this interview i never realized his profound awkwardness.

When was this recorded?

[@Gregvidz00]

Since when is Albert Pujols (703 home runs) not part of the most home runs list in baseball. Ranks 4th all time ahead of Arod. Completely left him out. WTF!! There’s no way this interview came out two months ago.

[@justinfletcher7630]

Seriously look at these guys this is a decade agos man

[@funtyes1970]

lol what you think this was just recorded las week. this interview over 8 years or maybe more.

[@waynejohanson1083]

At one time the Mariners had 3 of the greatest players of all time on their team, A. Rod, Griffrey Jr. and Randy Johnson. Yet none of them were still there when 2001 Mariners had one of the best seasons in baseball history. Imagine if they still had those 3 guys.

[@mariovultaggio8198]

N they had Edgar Martinez who was a beast at the plate

[@MikeJones-fv1fe]

The only two years I cheated was the two years i got caught, denied, and finally admitted it when confronted. Every other year i was clean...nah, not really buying that.

[@jimlaguardia8185]

[@ernestoazcona5268]

He is a hof to me

[@CarmonBenford]

At the time with your father in Minnesota you said you had closure with him, so that's it. No need feeling guilty about it. If he had died the next day, you would've had no regrets. You shouldn't have any regrets now. You did what you could do. Your father was probably happy in Minnesota as well. i found out with my own Dad that you can only talk so much, then you both have to move on.

[@itzcapondabeat9804]

I believe him. 2014 gave him humility. I think it changed him and as a father of daughters myself- I believe him when he said he never wanted to put himself in a position to have to explain himself to his daughters again. He's great as an analyst and teacher of the game now

[@Kevmurillo21]

the love I have for this man...

[@waynejohanson1083]

But you have never met him.

[@mathewamschler7604]

Rodriguez was 4th on the home run list until Pujols passed him and went on to have 703 career home runs

[@ernestoazcona5268]

Selig is in the hall 🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️🤯🤯🤯

[@STWRITES1]

If somebody says A-Rod is the best player ever I will not offer a problem to that.

[@l.s.754]

I am curious why Alex didn't stay with a team to hit 4 more Home Runs, to join 700 club. He retired in May. He could have done it.

I don't care what anyone says. I loved ARod. Say what you say about whatever. He was a Yankee.

[@Joseph-lz5er]

From looking at this high school video, he was a freak of an athlete. Rumor has it he gained about 30 pounds of muscle from sophomore to junior year of high school and gained enormous power to become a power hitter. In other words, he has been juicing since high school.

[@mturley8414]

I gained 22 lbs from junior to senior year and picked up 4 mph on my fast ball and I was natty.. So in other words that don’t mean fuck all and I wanna see your source for this claim

[@Joseph-lz5er]

@@mturley8414 So you developed into a power pitcher and got drafted by the MLB team? You must've been a former first round pick comparable to Arod. Go type Arod roiding in high school on KZbin.

[@woodybongard9496]

[@spence7985]

Only if Pete goes in with em

[@bd4947]

But neither Bonds nor Clemens popped during their careers, yet David Ortiz made it in his first go around (he was on the 03 list and be honest with yourself. There was a year near the end he was washed up and he came back hitting 400 foot bombs to the opposite field). Once Ortiz made it in first try, the hall was tainted, so all three belong in.

[@dbreiden83080]

They forever destroyed the record books and basically rendered them worthless. They are out of the Hall of Fame for good reason. People didn’t think what Barry Bonds was doing was humanly possible. It wasn’t. He was cheating his ass off.

[@tommyriam8320]

19:45 Why do they(Buck & Rodriguez) both insist on shaving a year from his age? He turned *21* (completed 21 full years) in July of 1996..I mean, it's still great but he was nearly 4 months into his 22 year on earth by the end of the 1996 season when the "MVP" voting took place.

[@Dee_Rod]

What's the difference. Does it matter

[@21Pescatore]

Arod, I was alway a big fan of yours when you played for the yankees. I feel the yankees kinda did you wrong. I could always see the pressure that you were feeling when you were up at bat. PS, I am still a fan of yours today!

[@andryalan1421]

The best all time AROD 💪💪⚾⚾🇩🇴🇩🇴♥️♥️

[@SolidHang]

I always liked watching A-rod play. For me he was must see tv. It’s interesting to me Alex Rodriguez is the only guy to get caught and produce at an all star level after words. All else washed out. Proved he didn’t need it. He was mentally inadequate and thought he needed steroids. Is there anyone else?

[@silentcapture1994]

Listen to what he said...........he was injured and was trying to come back. I don't fault guys for taking roids to heal from injury over the course of a 162 game season. People miss the point of these guys taking roids, for most of them, it wasn't about gaining an advantage, it was about getting or staying healthy enough to play. With that being said, Sammy, Mark, especially Jose and Barry, I think more then likely it was done to gain an advantage though.

[@jimlaguardia8185]

Only 2 players have over 3000hits and over 600 home runs and over 2000 RBI: Alex and Aaron. The Yanks’ last WS championship was because of Alex; he carried the team. I watched every inning. Persons who dislike Alex need a psychiatrist.

Again, it was just a guess.Idon’t think they were ever “ hang out buddies”

[@throncich7]

I’m guessing Derek Jeter wouldn’t vote ARod in the HOF/ Like Jonny Bench wouldn’t vote Pete Rose in the HOF ; so until their fellow players are willing to put their past baseball issues behind them it can’t become a reality

[@Lord_Bibulous]

Jeter isn't a HOF voter.

I was giving a 4 instance , for both Jeter and Bench being contemporary players of ARod & Rose ; I mean who would know better than the players that were on the field with them day in & out

You're guessing wrong. Jeter has stated for years that Alex belongs in the Hall of Fame.
