Learning When to Tip with A-Rod
Alex Rodriguez more recently referred to as A-Roid is yet again at the forefront of allegations all stemming from a slander book written by Selena Roberts’ titled ‘The Many Lives of Alex Rodriguez’.
Still battling to come back from hip surgery Rodriguez may not have to answer to more then just his steroid use with the New York Yankees. A-Rod allegedly signaled apposing batters as to what to expect on the ensuing pitch if his teammate was going to be throwing a fastball, change up or breaking ball.
But why would A-Rod go through the trouble? With every good scandal there has to be significant reason and this one may prove far fetched. Supposedly during blow out games Rodriguez would pitch tip to apposing players with the hope that they would return the favor in order to help him boost his stats.
Texas Rangers second baseman Michael Young disregarded the allegations outright stating, “I was 40 feet away from him and I never saw that.”
So far no former Rangers teammates have publicly admitted that the tipping occurred and but all will come to light. It is unlikely that something like this would be proved and unless MLB officials are looking to sift through hours of game tapes they would have to rely on the word of teammates.
Reportedly Rodrigues is already scheduled to be brought in and it is set to come down to A-Rod admitting to the allegations or those involved would have to swear to the truthfulness of the allegations.
And to top off the ridiculousness of the allegations Roberts herself has declined to cooperate with MLB investigators, citing a conflict of interest. While baseball spokesman Pat Courtney simply stated that the league does not comment on internal investigations.
