5 times Alex Rodriguez played the role of a Boston sports villain

In the spirit of March Madness brackets, Boston.com launched its own: Voting to decide who is Boston’s biggest sports villain. The Boston sports villain bracket continues with round-by-round voting, so head over and let your voice be heard.

Rodriguez was always going to be an integral part of Boston.
