If you're still wondering why A-Rod is the most hated player in major league baseball, and maybe the most hated athlete in all of American sports, then this tidbit from the New York Post should help make it incredibly clear.ALEX Rodriguez wasted no time embracing single life. With the ink not yet dry on his divorce, the All-Star was spotted Thursday getting his blond highlights touched up at the Frederick Fekkai Salon. Wearing faded jeans and skin-tight blue T-shirt, A-Rod embraced his feminine side when stylists wrapped his head in a plastic helmet and put him under a heat lamp, reports The Post's Lukas I. Alpert. Later, A-Rod asked his yes-men if "it should be darker," to which they responded with stunned silence.
Man, there are so many potential jokes contained in that paragraph I don't even know where to begin. Do I make the customary Jeter joke? Or do I go for the skin tight blue T-shirt joke? Or perhaps I should just state the obvious, which is that A-Rod cares more about his hair than ever actually getting a clutch hit in a game.
I also especially like how the Post seems to go out of their way to describe precisely how big an egomaniac and tool this guy is - while making him sound like a complete sissy.
But truthfully, I'm glad to see A-Rod is so focused on looking good for the remainder of the season. God forbid we'd have had to witness the closing up of Yankee Stadium today without seeing A-Rod's highlights one more time.
You know Babe Ruth would be so proud.
