Alex Rodriguez is hated by almost every Boston Red Sox fan, while Tom Brady, a die-hard Boston Red Sox fan. One would wonder how these two legendary sportsmen could ever see eye to eye given their dominant sporting differences. However, not only did they see eye to eye, but they are also good friends, who have often spoken about each other’s influence on their respective lives.
In a similar vein, as Rodriguez journeyed to the esteemed Harvard University in Massachusetts a year prior, the former Yankees slugger reminisced about a moment he shared with Brady in his hometown of Florida. The 7-time Super Bowl Champion and 696 homer man, decided to take a golf trip together, and it was during that trip that, as A-Rod recollects, Brady made the decision to pursue his active desire of attaining eternal youth.
As time goes by, the wish that the NFL legend shared with the Yankees legend is gradually becoming a reality, and it could be said that he has the fortuitous alignment of the stars belonging to a rival New York Yankees star to thank for it.

Following his workout, A-Rod said, “Tom Brady, come here buddy. Let me tell you something. I’m in your town, Boston. You’re in my town, Florida. Twenty years ago, I picked you up at the Hotel Miami. We went down and played some golf on the course. Somewhere in the fourth hole, you told me, ‘Alex, I want to play till I’m 50.”
Boston, a city that looks at A-Rod as a villain, strangely surprised him. And the 14-time All-Star continued to add, “I didn’t believe you. But guess who’s laughing now? Tom Brady, the GOAT. And here I am at Harvard trying to take some classes. Trying to get smart. Trying to represent you one day, baby. Tom Brady, let’s go.”
