Who gave this guy an invitation?
It was billed as some sort of “super” sports weekend with the participants, including prize fighters, horses, and hockey players, clearly identified.
Yet it was Alex Rodriguez, an outlier (or if you prefer, outright liar) who broke down the door, crashed the party, and stole the show. This either is indicative of his marketability or simply the number of eyeballs abnormally attracted to his “redemption” tour.
Yes, with one swing of the bat Friday night, lining his 660th career home run into Fenway’s Green Monster seats, Rodriguez became a one-man (three-day) event fueled by a controversy over the almighty dollar.
