Believe it or not, Alex Rodriguez's decision to skip the Home Run Derby during All-Star Weekend is stirring up some controversy. It never ceases to amaze me me just how much people love drama. Everyone will tell you otherwise, but then there they are, stirring the pot.
Reports: A-Rod passing on Home Run Derby
I have no problem with Alex Rodriguez skipping the Home Run Derby. I don't care if it actually screws up his swing or not, the point is he thinks it will. Rodriguez has a reputation as a head case, and baseball is just as much mental as it is physical. As a Yankee fan, Rodriguez's peace of mind is infinitely more important than the stupid Home Run Derby. Some players can participate in this thing with no problem, and there are others, not just Alex Rodriguez, who feel it screws with their mechanics. If you know anything about the game, then you know that even the smallest mechanical flaw is difficult to correct on the fly, even after you've identified the problem.
This isn't even a story. This is another reason for people to jump on Alex Rodriguez's case for taking was given to him. Get off his back and find something else to cry about, seriously.
Who am I kidding? I can barely speak English anymore...

Haha you're absolutely right, I just searched "Alex Rodriguez" on Google, and this was the first blog that came up that actually had something to do with baseball, rather than with Madonna. I feel the same way about people loving drama and merely wanting an excuse to vilify A-Rod. I just posted a similar post on my blog, so I was out seeing if anybody else shared my opinion haha..good day to you.

I agree, so how do we get him to stop banging aging, dried up pop stars?
