696 Homeruns had beaten “A-Rod” in his career for the Seattle Mariners, Texas Rangers and New York Yankees, for a long time he was regarded as a promising candidate to break Barry Bonds’ eternal homerun record.But the 42-year-old, who was the longest paid player in the league and ended his career in 2016, also resorted to illicit means. In 2009, the 14-fold All-Star admitted to having taken Rangers steroids in the Jersey from 2001 to 2003, and was also banned for the entire 2014 season as a result of the biogenesis scandal.

In a television interview with baseball commentator Joe Buck, which took place on 18.Rodriguez was annoyed by his misstep on October 10,”There are so many frustrating things to think back to.First of all, you have a completely guaranteed contract for hundreds of millions of dollars,”says Rodriguez,”You could really just sit on the couch and get fat.How stupid can you be?”

The reasons for the doping were chronic hip pain, as well as the high pressure and expectations of themselves.That cost him over $40 million,”and my reputation, and maybe the Hall of Fame and other things.” He sat awake all night long,”with tears in his eyes, and asked me:’ How the hell did I get into this situation?’ I’m the only complete idiot who has two aces on his hands and still finds a way to lose his hand.”

Rodriguez, who now works as an analyst for Fox Sports, emphasized, however, not to seek excuses for his suspension.
