Alex Rodriguez’s Hot Spring Start Shows He May »
September 20, 2013—that's the last time Alex Rodriguez hit a home run in a New York Yankees uniform. (Or any uniform, for that matter.) It was a grand slam, which seems somehow fitting.

Alex Rodriguez vs. Nationals: Stats, Highlights, »
Alex Rodriguez will probably never be so much as a replacement-level defender for the rest of his career. That much is clear.

Actors Who Are Obsessed with Sports »
In the same way athletes have forever admired actors, actors too have traditionally held athletes in high esteem.

Is Yankees’ 2015 Rotation a Total Trainwreck in »
The New York Yankees are pitching toward disaster. Get it? Because "pitching" means "to fall forward or headlong," but also because...never mind. You get it. It's going to be a long, sordid season in the Bronx. Alex Rodriguez is the main event, back from a yearlong performance-enhancing drug suspension and ready to take aim at some iconic home-run [...]
Alex Rodriguez’s Return to Field Signals Time to »
At long last, we have an excuse to stop talking about Alex Rodriguez the lightning rod and to start talking about Alex Rodriguez the baseball player.

New York Yankees: What to Expect from Top Prospect »
Stop me if you've heard this one before: The New York Yankees' work in the international free-agent pool netted them another top prospect. The system has seen this before—recently, in fact. Just last year, the Bronx Bombers added prized international free agent Masahiro Tanaka, but prior to that, in 2012, the club signed a 17-year-old [...]
