I will be the first to admit I want the Red Sox to get Alex Rodriguez so badly this off-season. I have been enamored with him since the off-season the Sox almost had him, but let their arch rival swoop in at the last second because they coughed up a few extra million dollars. What this man is doing this month is incredible, but is it that much of a surprise, I say No.
Last night he continued his torrid start by knocking two out of the park at Fenway. If Alex stays healthy this season he will get to 60 home runs. The problem over the last few years for Rodriguez is he was not having fun, now he is and this means a lot of balls will be heading into the seats. One of the reasons Rodriguez is having such a big year is this is technically a free agent year. We all know athletes always play at their peak when money is on the line.
Baseball fans enjoy what you are watching because Rodriguez is going to break Barry Bonds home run record 7-10 years from now and their is no controversy over his use of performance enhancing drugs. When he breaks the record I hope he is wearing a Red Sox uniform because this is a man on a mission and, by the way the Sox have a hole at 3rd base this off-season.
