New York Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez is heading into the 2016 season with a renewed love for baseball after enjoying a resurgent 2015 campaign that moved him within striking distance of team legend Babe Ruth on the all-time home run list.
Kevin Kernan of the New York Post spoke with the polarizing superstar about a variety of topics this week with spring training now less than a month away. A-Rod called his pursuit of Ruth "overwhelming" and said he never dreamed about making such an impact on the game.
"When you start playing baseball at nine years old, you never think about tying anybody, let alone a guy like Babe Ruth," he said.
