Alex Rodriguez’ “Chart” is Ascending

Last night Alex Rodriguez hit the 661st home run of his career passing Willie Mays for fourth place on the all time “chart,” as Mr. Rodriguez called it.

Oh, I have so many problems with today’s baseball and broadcasting and yes, the perspective on home runs, steroids, the Hall of Fame and more than anything. the wild card presence in baseball.

Yet surprisingly, I am happy for Alex Rodriguez and truly appreciated his comment that though he had passed Mr. Mays on the “chart,” that there would never be another Willie Mays. By the way, Mays’ 84th birthday was the day before Rodriguez passed him on the “chart.”

Yes an emphasis on “chart” and the chart/ graph for Mr. Rodriguez is ascending, as he showed class and deference toward the great baseball player, Willie Mays. Congratulations to him for the home run and his comments.
