Even though Rodriguez was one of the most talented and successful baseball players of all time, he had a tough time with his new teammates and fans when he headed over to the New York Yankees.
Yankees fans are notoriously difficult to please, and they took umbrage with some of A-Rod’s strategies—but he would soon silence their doubts.

Spott of Romance
Even though he was back on top and flying high once again in his career, that didn’t mean that A-Rod took his eye off the ball when it came to his personal and love life.
