Plenty of Yankee fans cheered also seeing Alex Rodriquez getting hit by a pitch.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — The boo-birds came out in force again Tuesday for Alex Rodriguez.

But then something different — a swelling of cheers from the crowd in Chicago.

The fans let out a healthy roar after A-Rod was grazed on the elbow by a Chris Sale pitch in the third inning. And that did not sit well with Yankees manager Joe Girardi.

“There’s something wrong with that,” Girardi said after New York’s 3-2 loss to the White Sox. “I often think that it starts from the adults. And if it was their child, would they want them to be hit? Because the kids will only repeat what the adults do.”

A Rod deserves every ridicule he receives.

Alex Rodriguez has become a disgrace to the sports world and to humanity. His antics off the field has been poison for the NY Yankees and his flops in crunch time has caused the resentment of fans. MLB recently suspended him until the start of the 2015 season for using body enhancing drugs. Rather than go along with the suspension and admit wrong doing, A-Fraud challenged his suspension, thus allowing him to play.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – Alex Rodriguez has been banned for 211 regular-season games by Major League Baseball for his part in the sport’s latest performance-enhancing drugs scandal.

The New York Yankees star vowed to appeal the suspension, which takes effect Thursday. He’ll be allowed to play during the grievance process and made his season debut Monday night in Chicago.

The 14-time All-Star started at third base and batted cleanup, going 1-for-4 in the Yankees’ 8-1 loss.

“(A-Rod) pretty much ruined the sport,” one fan told 1010 WINS’ Steve Sandberg. “He made the Yankees look bad, he made himself look bad, he made his fans look bad, it’s bad for publicity, it’s bad for himself and he really let a lot of people down.  No. He actually shouldn’t be playing at all, for that matter.”

“This might be the largest booing of any human being ever in baseball history when he walks out into Cellular Park tonight with a uniform on,” Suzyn Waldman of the WCBS 880 Yankees radio team said.

Alex Rodriguez did get booed loudly last night at Cellular Park for his first at bat.

The crowd at U.S. Cellular Field booed the three-time MVP during pregame warmups and introductions. When he stepped to the plate in the second inning for his first at-bat of the season, they could have drowned out a jet.

A-Rod needs to be banned permanently from baseball. He’s a despicable man who has ruined a legendary franchise and given baseball a black eye. He’s a mentally sick man who should be in a mental ward.

A-Rod facing a Life Ban

I am a Yankee fan but hate Alex Rodriguez. Except for the 2009 Playoffs, he has been useless in crunch time. He’s always getting injured and is just a drama queen. With new allegations of performance enhancing drugs., MLB baseball is set to suspend A-Rod and 20 other players.

Commissioner Bud Selig is prepared to levy a lifetime suspension on New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez, while suspending about eight others before the weekend, two people with knowledge of the negotiations told USA TODAY Sports.

The people were unauthorized to speak publicly because no announcement is expected until Thursday or Friday.

Rodriguez, according to his attorney, David Cornwell, will appeal any suspension, regardless of the severity. The other players are expected to receive 50-game bans, and most are considering accepting the discipline without appealing, according to one of the people.

As many as 20 players were originally linked to Biogenesis, a Miami clinic that allegedly provided performance-enhancing drugs, but some players could not be disciplined for lack of evidence.

Good riddance to this fraudster.
