Back in the late 90’s, ARod was probably one of my favorites, though Edgar Martinez always took the top spot. I liked how Alex seemed to really work on shoring up his defense, from one of the worst defensive shortstops in the league to above average.
But starting with the whole Rangers thing, he just started exuding more and more douche vibes. Not sure if they accurately reflect his true character, but I can’t root for his excellence in the way I can root for Pujols’.
