‘Here Are the Rules. If You Think You’re Going to Do…’- Derek Jeter Once Laid Out the Rules to Yankees Newbie Alex Rodriguez in the Most Passive Aggressive Manner

Baseball fans were lucky enough to witness Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez playing -together for the same MLB franchise. Having played for over ten years together for the New York Yankees, Jeter and A-Rod entertained an era in baseball.

Unlike Jeter, before signing for the Yankees, A-Rod had already played for two other franchises, the Seattle Mariners and Texas Rangers. And when A-Rod came to the Yankees, he was not familiar with the new environment.

Being a great baseball player, Alex Rodriguez was also a great observer of the game. Apart from playing the game, the Yankees’ newbie also loved to watch the game. And this was something that the then-Yankees captain would find awkward. In the latest episode of the KayRod Cast, Derek Jeter discussed A-Rod’s obsession with the game.

Going down memory lane, A-Rod shared an incident about the same. When A-Rod came to the Bronx in 2004, Jeter could not believe A-Rod’s obsession with baseball. A-Rod revealed Jeter warned him not to talk baseball all the time.

“I love baseball. This is a true story… Early in 2004, when I first got here, we would go like the PF change or something after spring training. And we will get there and I would start talking baseball from start to finish… And Jee (Jeter) goes, “look, here are the rules. If you are going to do this every day for 200 games, you’re not gonna be out to come to lunch anymore,” A-Rod said.

Together, Jeter and A-Rod won many games for the Pinstripes. Although A-Rod did not start his baseball career with the Yankees, he played his last game as a Yankee. And who does not know about Derek Jeter? He remained a Yankee throughout his entire baseball career.
