Pre-game ceremony for A-Rod’s 3,000th hit
This is rich. The Yankees will hold a special on-field pre-game ceremony for Alex Rodriguez’s 3,000th career hit later this season, the team announced. It’ll be held Sunday, September 13th, before the team’s 1pm ET game against the Blue Jays. They ask you to be in your seats by 12:30pm ET. So just a few weeks after refusing to pay A-Rod his $6M home run milestone bonus because they claimed it was unmarketable, the Yankees are honoring Alex for his 3,000th hit.
