Boy is that true, and I even your opponents and opponents fans will hate you more for leaving.
A really interesting retrospective on A-Rods down fall by Psonanski today:http://nbcsports.msnbc.com/id/50877666/ns/sports-baseball//
Posnanski (and I ) am struck by how similar A-Rod and Jeter really are. Same egotism, same glamour girl-friends, similar huge contracts, both breaking down do to age, yet Jeter is loved and revered, while A-Rod is despised by all, even his current team's fans. The main difference is that Jeter is the loyal home town boy who never jumped ship while A-Rod chased the green and left town (note they both still got huge contracts, one stayed, one left to get it).
How beloved would A-Rod be now if he had taken Seattle's 192 mil instead of Texas' 252 and he had stayed here to set every Mariner record there ever was, and stayed here and became the best SS to ever play (he wouldn't have had to move to 3B)? I bet we would have all turned a blind eye to the steroid stuff even, Or maybe he wouldn't have ever been tempted to take the roids?
Oh well, we could have loved you as much as we love Felix, Alex...
LONG LIVE THE KING!
