Alex Rodriguez has been the lighting rod for the Yankees success and failure since he first buttoned up in pinstripes during the '04 season. He has accomplished numerous things in the Bronx...however there is one adjective that has eluded him during his Yankee years...clutch.
I Love NY
ARod hit career number 500 as a Yankee, as well as he won 2 American League MVP awards, but as everyone knows...the team is judged only on the championships they win, and it has been 8 years, and 10 months since they have captured the crown. What happened last night in the South Bronx could be considered a watershed moment for Rodriguez, as he finally got the albatross off his neck by hitting a 2-run home run in the 15th inning, to beat the rival Red Sox 2-0.
In a word, he was as CLUTCH as Derek Jeter's career. The game lasted 5 hours and 33 minutes, and with one swing it was over...it being the years of frustration as Alex has finally earned his pinstripes. Baseball is all about production and being able to deliver...and while it took the better part of 5 hours...the Yankees won...keeping the lead in the AL East, making ARod a hero...if only for one night.
