Alex ‘A-Rod’ Rodriguez: The sporting spirit lives on 

Alexander ‘A-Rod’ Rodriguez is one of the biggest known baseball names around the world. He retired quite a while ago, but his fair play and diplomatic attitude are still intact. He once attempted to buy the New York Mets alongside his former fiancée, Jennifer Lopez. However, whenever asked about the failed bid and broken engagement, he always comes up with positive comments.

Listening to Rodriguez’s sporty comment put Stewart too into an upbeat mode. She got excited about how New York is now going to have two equally strong baseball teams. Seeing how both Yankees and Mets are strengthening up, Stewart asked ‘A-Rod’ about the future of both teams. To which, ‘A-Rod’ replied, saying, “Well, let me tell you, this could be a rematch of the 2000 Subway Series, which would be incredible.”  

For Rodriguez, the benefit of the sport as a whole still holds higher value. When Martha Stewart asked ‘A-Rod’ about his once-grand plan to buy the Mets, he answered, “Well, we came in second. So I would say that we were the second winner. And we ran into a buzzsaw. I mean, with a guy like Steve Cohen, who is one of the wealthiest people around in the world. He’s a long-time Mets fan and he won. Fair and square!”
