As we all know I always have a weird reason for picking the athlete I'd like to feature and this by far is going to be the weirdest reason! We all know that I'm a true Dodger fan and I've been waiting since I was about 7 years old (thats the age I started to understand baseball) for the Dodgers to win a World Series, and every post season I always say "Wait till next year!" So now that the Dodgers have a new Manager (Joe Torre) from the Yankees everyone may think we have a better chance at winning. Now let's not get carried away just because you have a good manager doesnt mean you will automatically win! You also need good players...now word on the street is A-Rod wants to follow Joe...Now I very much dislike the Yankees...dont ask me why I just do ok! But I wouldnt mind having another great player on our team...so with that the athlete of the week is Alex Rodriguez...(even if he is a yankee...for now)
In 2007, Rodriguez became the first player in major league history to have at least 35 home runs, 100 runs, and 100 RBI in 10 consecutive seasons, surpassing Jimmie Foxx (9 consecutive seasons).
You never know what will happen next year or what players we will get or give up, but lets just hope for a good team to take us all the way...I just hope that team includes my favorite players!!! lol
