Alex Rodriguez was not going to let the Subway Series get away without providing some major excitement.
He is Mr. Entertainment, after all, and he seemed to be in the middle of it all Sunday night at Yankee Stadium.
Rodriguez came to bat in the bottom of the first with the Yankees trailing 2-0 after the Mets were lining baseballs all over the ballpark against Nathan Eovaldi in the top of the inning.
Rodriguez is enjoying this season like never before, and he knows he is most valuable to the Yankees against left-handed pitching. That’s when he really has to deliver because of the Yankees’ heavy reliance on left-handed hitters.
