Alex Rodriguez: Derek Jeter
built 179 days ago
Alex Rodriguez, for the first time, admitted that his relationship with Derek Jeter is not what it used to be. It was an interesting interview with Alex that you will soon be able to listen to here.

One of the most controversial plays of Rodriguez's career occurred late in Game 6 of the 2004 ALCS (American League Championship Series). With one out and Derek Jeter on first base in the bottom of the eighth inning, Rodriguez hit a slow roller between the pitcher's mound and the first base line. Red Sox pitcher Bronson Arroyo fielded the ball and ran towards Rodriguez to apply a tag. As Arroyo reached towards him, Rodriguez swatted at his glove, knocking the ball loose. As the ball rolled away, Jeter scored all the way from first as Rodriguez took second on the play, which was initially ruled an error on Arroyo. However, the umpires quickly huddled, then ruled that Rodriguez was out for interference.
Derek Jeter will catch a ball in foul territory, but in the process, crash into Alex Rodriguez. Jeter will win his third (undeserved) Gold Glove award as that play will appear on ESPN 500 times per night.
