From friends to enemies and back again: Confidant’s A-Rod friendship

For Alex Rodriguez, the road to 3,000 hits just might have featured the most passengers of any such journey.

One of the most important members of that last group appeared alongside A-Rod last Tuesday, at the place where Rodriguez learned how to play the game that made him America’s most beloved supervillain.

“I’ve always said this: It’s not how you start. It’s how you finish,” Eddie Rodriguez told The Post at the Hank Kline Club in Miami.
