If there was one subject Alex Rodriguez was always game to talk about, it was this: Who are the greatest players of all time?
He was curious about what reporters/potential Hall of Fame voters thought and, given his vanity, it was always easy to tell he wondered where he ranked among baseball's legends.
After his year-long PED suspension in 2014, the ongoing conversation shifted. A-Rod softened his edge, acted a little more vulnerable, and re-calibrated, wondering now if he could still make the Hall at all.
Suddenly, and with time on his side, there seems to be a real chance A-Rod could be voted in one day.
