Mark Wahlberg Once Revealed How the Boston Red Sox Saved Him From Certain Embarrassment in Yankee Stadium

Alex Rodriguez had his glorious MLB career started off with the Seattle Mariners, where he became the youngest debutant in their history. Six years in, the shortstop moved to Texas after signing a mammoth $252million contract. However, for the most glorious part of his career, A-Rod moved to the Pinstripes in 2004, under captain Derek Jeter.

From 2004, till the very end of his career in 2016, the shortstop-turned-baseman played for the Yankees.

In consonance with that, when anyone is Yankee, they join the decade-old Boston Red Sox rivalry by default. Similarly, back in 2018, A-Rod and Mark Wahlberg placed a massive bet on the New York Yankees during the Division Series against the BoSox. However, A-Rod lost and saved the American actor from lots of humiliation.

Alex Rodriguez placed a risky bet on the New York Yankees

In an appearance on The Ellen Show in 2018, Mark Wahlberg discussed the bet, and how the BoSox saved him. At 2:55, Mark talks about the BoSox beating the Yankees in the 2018 ALDS and leaving A-Rod as a victim to the scary tasks ahead of him.

Wahlberg said, “He [A-Rod] had to come to Wahlburgers and basically do whatever my brother Paul told him. So Paul basically started him cleaning bathroom floors. He was cooking on the grill, flipping burgers, making drinks.”

And as Mark continued to talk, the bet only got worse. He added, “He was doing it at our Fenway Park location. And he really won over lots of Red Sox fans, which is not an easy thing to do. And thank god I won the bet.”

Finally, he also revealed how the Yankees’ defeat saved him from an extremely humiliating bet that would involve him performing in his underwear at The Bronx. He added, “I went way overboard on what I was promising to deliver. I made the mistake of saying that I would go and perform Good Vibrations in my underwear at Yankee Stadium. Thankfully, I don’t have to deliver on that bet.”

Is Jennifer Lopez’s new partner a Red Sox fan?

One year after retiring from the Pinstripes, Alex Rodriguez and mega sensation Jennifer Lopez started dating. Throughout their four-year relationship, the couple checked every box. They were supportive of each other’s success, celebrated small things together, and never shied away from adorable public appearances. In 2019, they announced their engagement. Unfortunately, their engagement lasted only two years. And in April 2021, their split became official.

Shortly after, JLo got back together with her ex-fiance, Ben Affleck. However, the major slap on A-Rod’s face was the massive revelation of Ben Affleck’s American League affiliation.

You guessed that right. After being with a Yankees legend for four years, Jennifer Lopez started dating and is now married to a die-hard Red Sox fan. The couple officially got married in Vegas and celebrated through an extravagant wedding in Georgia earlier this year.

On the other hand, A-Rod is in a rumored relationship with fitness coach Jaclyn Cordeiro. While neither of the parties has confirmed or denied the relationship, their social media handle is evocative enough.
