Born: July 27, 1975


Dominican-American baseball player Alex 'A-Rod' Rodriguez was born on July 27,
1975, in Manhattan, New York. The New York Yankee is most known for a play he
was involved on during game 6 of the 2004 ALCS. When A-Rod hit a slow ground ball
back to the pitcher's mound where Red Sox pitcher Bronson Arroyo fielded the ball
and tried to tag A-Rod, who girlishly slapped the ball out of Arroyo's hand and
thought he had done nothing wrong. He was ruled out and his behavior and conduct
are perceived as very un-professional and inspired much disdain from Red Sox fans
and baseball fans alike.
