Controversial PEDs User Alex ‘A-Rod’ Rodriguez Once Ironically Hailed Barry Bonds as the ‘Greatest Baseball Player of All Time’

The former baseball player Alex ‘A-Rod’ Rodriguez has many controversies attached to his name. But the one which probably will not go anywhere soon is the performance-enhancing drugs controversy. Some people do not consider Alex to be in Cooperstown because of the usage of steroids and do not think of him as a good player.

But the disputed home run king, Barry Bonds, does not think so. He still considers him one of the best players and once called him a clutch player as well. Similarly, Alex Rodriguez repaid the favor to the disputed home run king of Major League Baseball.

How did Alex ‘A-Rod’ Rodriguez repay the favor to the debatable home run king?

The home run king Barry Bonds once called A-Rod a clutch player in his Twitter post for a grand slam. Two days later, in a Q&A with ESPN, the former baseball player repaid the favor to Bonds.

In the interview, he was asked about who he thinks is the greatest baseball player of all time. A-Rod gave the answer to this question in just two words, “Barry Bonds.”

What other things did Rodriguez talk about in the Q&A?

The interview consisted of only 13 questions, which included his favorite artist, series, superhero, most unforgettable moments of his life, greatest baseball player of all time, and many others.

A-Rod shared the most unforgettable moments of his life, both personally and professionally. Personally, he said, “The births of my two daughters were the two greatest moments of my life.” He continued, “Professionally, jumping on top of Mariano Rivera on the mound for the 2009 championship.” His favorite artist at that time was Jay-Z, his favorite series then was House of Cards, and his favorite superhero is John McClane in Die Hard.
