I remember seeing him in the last professional baseball game I ever attended. It was the day that Alex Rodriguez came back to Seattle as a Texas Ranger. There were several signs around Safeco Field that day, some of which I could not repeat in mixed company. I noticed there were several people that were wearing t-shirts that had his old Mariners number, but instead of saying ‘A-Rod’ the shirts said ‘A-Hole’. When Alex made his first at-bat, I swear to you I have never heard a man booed so hard in my life. As I recall, he struck out all three times he was at bat that day, and the Mariners won.
When I found out he was using ‘roids, it didn’t surprise me at all.
I remember the Mariners fans that had fishing poles dangling dollar bills at Alex.
