When I worked in the tunnels and on the field for an MLB team, I remember being told that if I see him, do NOT hold doors for him. I was specifically told that if he comes up the tunnel into the clubhouse in a group of other players, I was to let the door go and let him get his own damn door. He was notorious for looking away from staff who extended him courtesies, so they no longer wanted to treat him with courtesy.

BS. That would get everyone involved fired if their was that type of coordinated effort to mess with a celebrity athlete with his status. If you are going to say that everyone just kept it a secret, that is BS too, because most new employees who were told to do this would question it to a higher authority because if told to do this by a co-worker, it would sound like a prank with the intention to get someone fired. There i no way a MLB organization paying him millions of dollars a year are going to let him be punked by the guys being paid minimum wage to hold open doors.

The two things I specifically remember about Arod in that series was that stunt he tried to pull in game 6 and then him whining like a little you know what when he got caught (not to mention the oh so classy reaction from Yanks fans) and looking like he was about to cry when the Sox got the last out in game 7

[@drygnfyre]

I'm the same. I'm no fan of the Red Sox, but I can tell you that pretty much everyone in America outside of NYC was a Red Sox fan that season. (I think it's also cool that Dave Roberts, who started the 0-3 comeback, later coached the Dodgers, which is my team). However, after that, I got sick of the Red Sox pretty quickly.

I remember when A-Rod was with the Rangers, my sister and I got some Rangers posters for our rooms. Hers had A-Rod and "Pudge" posing together. It said something like "A-Rod and I-Rod". Years later when we got older and found out more about A-Rod she quietly went into her room and took the poster down. No idea where it went after that.

2:25 That was one of my friends growing up. Always the strongest kid in school and was the best at football. But not really in skill, just pure strength. Could throw the farthest, run the fastest, break a tackle the best etc. We were mostly friends in middle school, we lived a block away. But even in 7th grade he could bench 325 lbs. High school he was in mid 400s. Just absurd. I didn't think much of it until a couple years after high school, besides "that's crazy." But then I realized... huh, he never ate anything regimental. Ate junk food with us, and when I stayed over for dinner, he did eat more food that the rest of us, but not that much more. He only went to the gym for an hour 3 times a week.... Has no work out equipment at home. How? I started putting it together years later how his dad was uber controlling, always rewarded him with the most expensive bikes and the nicest jerseys and what not. His father was the coach of his youth football team for a few years. I later put it all together that obviously his dad was feeding him steroids for years, had to be.

In 1998 I was 14 years old and was in Denver for the All Star Game. My friends and I attended a Nike Training camp for kids aged 8-14 to go work on our game for the day. Unbeknownst to anyone, A-Rod made a surprise appearance. He was classy, told us to stay in school, treat our family with respect, and to work hard. He stayed and talked with us for what felt like hours (probably 2, keep in mind I was 14). The internet and phones weren't what they are now. Zero cameras, zero publicity, zero reason to be there other than to hang out with us and inspire us to be better people. This also happened to be the same day as the actual All Star Game. Ironically, it was the same year Junior refused multiple times to be a part of the Home Run Derby in Denver citing travel exhaustion. He the changed his mind the day of, won the title, and the city of Denver booed him the entire day lolol. While I can't vouch for all the crap A-Rod has done, that afternoon hanging out with him and my friends was one of my favorite baseball memories as a kid. Baffles me to this day how this guy and the guy that afternoon are the same person.

A-Rod reminds me of that one Bill Simmons phrase "the Tyson Zone." The point where any single story about a celebrity/athlete/politician/whatever, no matter how bizarre it sounds, could very well be true.
