Everyone knowns that Alex Rodriguez is a great baseball player with an immense amount of talent, but with that talent he also brings a lot of extra baggage to go along with that talents. You either love him or hate him, there is no middle ground. If he is not on your team most likely you hate him and you may not even like him if he is on your team. A-rod's career has been a roller coaster ride both on and off the field. His inconsistent play in key situations, such as late in games and in playoffs games, has caused some yankee fans to hate the man.e His off the field scandals such has his steroid use and alleged affair with madonna and subsequent divorce have caused most of the non-Yankee population to deeply hate this man. From the start of his Yankee career he was destined for dislike. He came to the yankees in 2004, and Immediately started butting heads with beloved yankees captain and icon Derek Jeter. Because of this when he started to struggle on the field, fans were all over him, booing him for any strikeout or error. When A-Rod admitted to the steroid use, recently, that everyone was suspicious of his career and numbers automatically became tainted.
Despite all of these issues, I'm hear to tell you that A-rod's career should be celebrated for his talent and amazing accomplishments even with all of the controversy surrounding him. A-Rod took steroids at a time in baseball when the majority of players were using and it was not illegal to do so. Everything A-rod has done in his career has been under a microscope especially playing in the New York market where his every move is looked at and scrutinized. His off the field issues should not have an effect on how you view his play on the field. Alex Rodriguez is on the the best baseball players of his generation and he should be remembered for his incredible accomplishments
