Alex Rodriguez says he's still holding on to his Hall of Fame dream -- even though he knows his PED scandals cut against him -- explaining, "I want to get in, I hope I get in, I pray I get in."
The ex-MLB superstar opened up to Cigar Aficionado (he LOVES cigars) -- and talked about everything from his shot at Cooperstown to Jennifer Lopez and Derek Jeter.
On the Hall of Fame ... A-Rod says:
"There’s rules, and you have to follow the rules. I made those mistakes, and at the end of the day I have to live by those mistakes.
