Sports Sunday: A-Rod Badace Pass

Alex Rodriguez has had my ♥heart♥ as a MLB *superstar*

♫Strolling Down Memory Lane♪ ☼Sunday☼ Cruise throwback: ♠A-Rod♠ with the *Texas Rangers*

• since he was a rookie with the Seattle Mariners over two decades ago
• through his career with the Texas Rangers
• and even when he went to the New York Yankees

♫Strolling Down Memory Lane♪ ☼Sunday☼ Cruise throwback: My blue-eyed girl ♥Asia♥ welcomes me home from Cali on Labor Day ’06 as we rep ♠A-Rod♠ & our *Texas Rangers* (selfie with my digi-cam before they existed on our smartphones & before iPhones existed!)

Despite the scandals that earned him a spot on my Top 5 Bawlers Ballers, I still admire him

• in the ball park
• and off the field

♫Strolling Down Memory Lane♪ ☼Sunday☼ Cruise throwback: I still sported my love for ♠A-Rod♠ back in the day on the West Coast on *4th of July ’07* in the Bay!

Now into the pro baseball post-season, catch ♠A-Rod♠ in action on FOX Sports!

THANKS, Love & Basketball
