Has A Rod become a ';true Yankee'; based on random, small sample sized at bats?

Alex Rodriguez, once considered a soft, mentally weak choke artist who couldn’t come through when it mattered most, is now being labeled a “hero” and a “True Yankee,” based on a completely random sampling of five games in which he has batted .368 and hit 3 home runs.





The relatively tiny amount of at-bats and opportunities has made a believer out of even the most jaded New York Yankees fans.Has A Rod become a ';true Yankee'; based on random, small sample sized at bats?
not yet, the writing portion of the true Yankee Test is the hardest part.Has A Rod become a ';true Yankee'; based on random, small sample sized at bats?
Do you know that Arod had better post-season stats than Reggie Jackson through their first 42 play-off games? Then Reggie got 3 homers in his 43rd and became Mr October based on a very small, completely random sampling of games.





If anything it was wrong to label Arod a choke artist because of a small sampling of post-season games considering he's had a hall of fame career and 3 MVP awards.
if someone can blatantly cheat with steroids, only to still play and be loved (by mainstream manipulation for revenue purposes)





than honestly, why does anyone think he stopped? He has proven who he is, money hungry, cheating, fame seeking, and crooked arrogance





Not a doubt in my mind A-Rod hasn't changed, people can deny the evidence of conspiracies, but when the word ';ironic'; means ';expected'; ....I take an unbiased look at the details





Black Sox scandal,


gambling on the game,


drug and steroid use,


corked bats,


horrible and obvious incorrect umpire calls,


stealing signs (this involves technology)





Alex Rodriguez is not a hero, and not a true Yankee.. he isn't even a true baseball player, people need to stop kidding themselves, heroes don't do the things he's done
Post Season is not the only factor, A-rod has always been a great regular season batter. The Post Season success is just securing the deal





I think it was 2006 or maybe 2007, the year hit about 50 Hr and won MVP. Yankees from April to June were in a huge slump. the only reason they are hanging on by a thread was because of A-Rod producing runs at the bat
8 Months ago he was a steroid cheater who also messed around with hookers and cheated on his wife but Yankees fans still call him a hero.





I guess its great to play for the Yankees, their fans still cheer you on when you screwed a few hookers.
Has he won a championship ring ? what is a true yankee ? relatively tiny amount of at-bats ? you don't know anything about the yankees
its kind of funny how they walk arod intentionally, and we do the same to abreu and they boo. hypocritical?
To SuperCat, It doesn't matter with what he's done in his personal life, the steroids matter but that''s because it relates to baseball. I'm not trying to say bad stuff about Babe Ruth but he had an alcohol problem and he definitely got hookers but it turns out he's one of the greatest Yankees of all time. My meaning of a true Yankee is someone who sticks with their team, through thick and thin, with or without being able to come through for your team. Give A Rod a few more years with the Yankees and he will definitely be considered a true Yankee. He's definitely had more than just a couple RBI's than in the postseason. He's come through for us, it's just that most people point out when he doesn't come through. Jeter is a True Yankee and it doesn't take a 6 year old to figure that our( well maybe lol) but yes Jeter is the honorable Yankee. Posada is an honorable Yankee. Robinson Cano can be a future honorable Yankee, he's been with them ever since the start of his career. A Rod has definitely become an RBI Yankee ever since the last month of the regular season and now the postseason. Let's see how long he can last as The RBI Guy.





Why do people keep saying A Rod isn't a true Yankee for what has happened in his personal life? Ok so I have to admit A Rod is kind of an asshole for cheating on his wife and apparently, being a money hungry monster. How does this relate to his baseball performance. This person is asking about his baseball performance and why suddenly people call him a baseball hero. Not for other people to rip on him. A Rod did to steroids. Horrible, just horrible. I think that anyone who does steroids should be suspended for life in baseball. But atleast, he didn't break records with it like Barry Bonds.
