Bagging on A-Rod used to be the favorite pastime of fans and media until it was replaced by ripping on LeBron. But now that A-Rod skipped out of the way on a double play ball during Friday night’s Subway Series opener between the Yankees and Mets, we can thank Keith Hernandez for bringing it back. Watch Keith Hernandez say to A-Rod “Where’s the purse?” on this Robinson Cano double play ball. Video:
As if the purse line wasn’t enough, play-by-play man Gary Cohen said “At least he didn’t slap at it,” which is a reference to an October, 2004 game between the Yankees and Red Sox where A-Rod made this motion:
Great, now we can add this incident to A-Rod’s growing list of offenses. You ready for it?
– Flipping out over the popcorn feeding caught by the Super Bowl cameras
– These embarrassing pictures from Details Magazine
– Running across Dallas Braden’s pitching mound
After hearing remarks like that, is there any surprise Jose Reyes got into it with Hernandez? Maybe the former Mets first baseman would be best sticking to sleeping during games instead.
