Alex Rodriguez belongs in Monument Park. Number 13 belongs there.

A-Rod singlehandedly won the Yankees their last World Series in 2009.

If his number 13 isn’t retired it’s only a matter of time until Jazz Chisholm, Jr. will take that spot in Monument Park.

I remember when the Rangers tried to trade him to the Red Sox for Manny Ramirez and Jon Lester, but MLB torpedoed the deal so the Yankees could acquire him.

He’s already got a big enough head as is no need inflating that ego further.

A-rod was a clubhouse killer to his teammates. Hated in Seattle, Texas, and NY. Dude hardly EVER produced when it mattered most. Winners want the ball when the game is on the line, and he always seemed to disappear in the biggest moments. Hit a ton of meaningless HRs.

You could review the current hall of famers and likely have reasons to remove them for something they did going back in time

He may have. But I doubt he bet on his own team.

Roids helped him, just like they helped Bonds, Palmero, McGuire, Sosa, etc.

Can you back that up with any meaningful data?
