Stevie franchise
Stevie franchise
Has there ever been a player in the history of sports put under the spotlight more than the Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez? Moreover, has there ever been a celebrity more disesteemed? Rationality states that almost all of the razzings are coming from malice. Yet, I believe you could claim that Yankee fans, infuriated by the fact that their proprietor hasn’t been able to buy a World Series title since 2000, fundamentally have settled to take their attack out on the highest paid man on their list. And before you begin with the “He’s not clutch like Derek Jeter” nonsense, just check up on the numbers. As far as the post season is concerned throughout the last few years, Rodriguez has the same if not more estimable numbers than Jeter in many principal statistical Stevie franchise classes. It is just related to money, which is humorous since the Yankees have been dropping theirs around for years. But does he actually merit the perpetual criticism?
Disregarding about being a non-Yankee fan, I believe I have to defend A-Rod on this point. For certain he signed the highest contract in the history of professional sports, but the only person who lawfully should be hissed is the person who would reject a franchise contract like that from the beginning. To reject that sort of money would be unfairness to your family, to charitable Stevie franchise establishments, and to any other establishment that would profit from that money later on. This was an instance of still another un-prudent proprietor who bargained just against himself, forcing the Stevie franchise price of Rodriguez considerably beyond what any other team was intending to pay him. But you know what? Being the proprietor of his business, that’s his privilege. Maybe he believed that $252 million was an estimable cost to pay for the revenue that this asset would render for his company, or team, in the future? Or maybe Tom Hicks is a fool. But that’s illogical at this point. The Stevie franchise fact is that the most effective player in the game at the time the contract was signed and for many years to come was afforded the most loaded contract. And I believe it was due to real malice that this player bit by bit became the most unloved man in sports. The truth is, in this day in age where athletes are jumping into the stands and propelling riots, punching camera men, taking unlawful drugs (performance enhancing or otherwise), beating their wives, driving while intoxicated, or doing any number of other immoral issues, the most defective matter Rodriguez has plausibly ever done would have to be a ballot between switches between countries to play for during the WBC and slapping the ball out of the 1st baseman’s hand during Stevie franchise game 6 of the 2004 ALCS.
