Quotes :
- "I could care less. In my career, I've been hearing it for a long time. It will never stop until you win five or six World Series in a row, and hit a Joe Carter home run. I've done a lot of special things in this game, and for none of that to be considered clutch, it's an injustice. I don't take anything personally; I enjoy it, it motivates me and I think it's comical. I think [for] anyone that drives in over 130 runs numerous times in his career, it's impossible not to be clutch."
- "When people write [bad things] about me, I don't know if it's [because] I'm good-looking, I'm biracial, I make the most money, I play on the most popular team."
- "Why do people sing 'Take Me Out to the Ballgame' when they're already there?"
- "Somebody wins a lottery and they're a national hero. Somebody works their butt off and he's a devil. I've made the progression to this point and I can't feel guilty." Alex Rodriguez Image : ericbyrnestrieshard.com
