Crown was a long time coming for A-Rod
Now that Alex Rodriguez has his first championship, Brian Cashman says A-Rod can just play to further his own legend.Just a reminder of where it started.
“I think the rest of his career now he can just write history,” Cashman said after last night’s World Series championship. “He doesn’t have anything that he has to answer for anymore. He obviously has to produce, there’s no doubt about that. But he doesn’t have to be told he can’t do anything. He’s done everything now.
“And so now, he can sit back, and his work ethic and his play will take him just wherever it’ll take him.”
Rodriguez’s seasons had always ended too early. He never took home the championship. He never even came close with the Yankees. This postseason, however, ended far differently.

I don't think I missed it unless it was in a pregame story, but was Fox waiting for Ibanez to end up on 3rd with A-Rod so they could show those pics of them as Foxes they requested from you?
I thought that they would use those pictures when Rodriguez flew out to Ibanez in one of the games early in the series, but they went off on another tangent.
It would have been better if there had been a team picture taken that season that showed both of them. That way they could have spot shadowed both of them. But, alas, there wasn't any.
