NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — It’s going to be hot in the Bronx on Friday night for the final game in pinstripes for Alex Rodriguez — and fans have mixed opinions about the end of the A-Rod era.
As CBS2’s Otis Livingston reported, there was no middle ground with Rodriguez. Whether you loved him or hated him, people always had an opinion about him.
A-Rod will serve as the designated hitter and bat third in his final Yankees game Friday against the Tampa Bay Rays. Rodriguez’s request to play third base was rejected by manager Joe Girardi, who continues to go by the mantra he’s trying to win games.
