Babe wake up, A-Rod’s a Yankee now.
It was February of 2004. We were minding our own business, nervously awaiting Valentine's Day, and then, boom, baseball was ruined. Alex Rodriguez joined the already star-studded Yankees (Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera, Gary Sheffield, soon-to-be-Yankee Johnny Damon) and New York dominance was predicted for…ever.
Why’d Rodriguez do it? Wasn't he happy starring on the last place Texas Rangers year after year after year? …Okay fine, that might’ve sucked, but didn't he have other options?
Let's get into it all. Welcome to Big Deal.
