Alex Rodriguez on pace for 138 home runs

I know this guy makes a mountain of money. He gets booed all year long and puts up solid numbers year in and year out. He does tend to choke in the playoffs, but if you look into the future. This is the guy that may be sitting on top of the homerun record book when all is said and done. I know everyone*, and I do mean everyone*, will be rooting for him then.

*unless your name is Barry Bonds

i know he will never hit that many but if he did hit that many homers i wonder if the booing will continue? probably. they would continue to just cheer for there beloved jeter.

A-rod deserves better....

You'd think folks would appreciate a perennial All-star. Granted he hasn't lit it up during the playoffs, but he hasn't exactly been 2 for 36 either. I'm willing to bet his postseason numbers will continue to go up if/when he makes it back. At some point the talent and law-of-averages will catch up.

I believe these are correct.

Alex Rodriguez Lifetime Playoff stats are:

BA:.305 OBP:.393 SLG:.534

His playoff stats as a Yankee:

BA:.277 OBP:.389 SLG:.476

Last year pulled those numbers down a bit because he did stink up the place.
