New York Yankees fans have, at times, had a complicated relationship with Alex Rodriguez. For years, they waited for the superstar to earn his pinstripes, which he finally did in 2009 when he slashed .365/.500/.808 with six homers in the postseason, helping lead the Yankees to their first World Series victory since 2000 and, painfully, the most recent title in franchise history.
Despite his ups and downs with the Yankees faithful, when it comes to hitting a baseball, few in history have done it better than Rodriguez, so when he speaks on the topic, one would be wise to listen.
