I know everyone says he is greedy and selfish, but, he was OFFERED the huge dollars!  This guy is one of the best players out there and has been for quite a while.  I watched him as a teenager in Seattle and was blown away at his pure talent.  I hated seeing him leave for texas but they OFFERED him that huge contract and Seattle couldn't afford that!  Granted that killed Texas but whose fault is that?  A-rod? I think not-he didn't demand that money texas OFFERED it to him!

  This guy hit 170 HR's and over 500 RBI's in NY alone!  If he is so greedy name me another athlete that said " Oh I couldn't possibley take that much money for playing a game!  Please cut my pay in half!"  I can't think of a single one! 

  Also shame on you Yankee fans for not appreciating what a great player he has been for you.  You sure seemed to like him this year because you couldn't cheer for anyone else on your team! 

  And before you start about his post season slumps lets not forget HE IS the reason you even had a post season,  where was Jeter and the rest of the team?

  Just mellow Montanan thought and I am curious what everybody else thinks about A-rod.

  Thanks for reading and your input is always welcome!
