Alex Rodriguez Limbers Up at 1st Base with Aerobics and Key Adjustments

The New York Yankees spanked the Seattle Mariners 7-2 Monday night, thanks largely to a nuclear meltdown by Felix Hernandez.

After three innings of solid pitching, Hernandez buckled under some unseen force and began handing out walks, one of which Alex Rodriguez gladly accepted to advance to first in the fourth inning.

Of course, being 39, Rodriguez requires a little oiling to keep the hinges moving, and the Yankees designated hitter applied liberal amounts of stretching and aerobics while waiting at first base.

It's like looking back at an Olivia Newton-John video:

Notice Rodriguez's finishing move at the end—a hard adjustment of the peach tree.
