The Book of A-Rod
Alex Rodriguez :: ZUMAPRESS.com
Alex Rodriguez is on the verge of signing a multimillion dollar deal to write a tell-all book about his battle with MLB. Besides his desperate need for money (he’s made $335 million so far in his career), A-Rod wants to reveal the “real low-down dirt of MLB tactics and collusion with the Yankees to get him out of the game.” This won’t be his first book. Rodriguez’s children’s book, Out of the Ballpark, is currently listed at $6.29 for Amazon Prime members.
