Arod hit 33 HRs in 2015 at age 40 after not playing for a whole year and he did it clean. That right there tells me all I need to know about how truly great Arod was.
To be honest with you, I hadn't done my research when I typed that; I was just going off something I've heard before. That's my bad and I'll assume you're right about them going away. I agree with you that he achieved great things outside of the years he admitted to have taken steroids. I am jealous of his success, but I also dislike his reluctancy to admit to having used them and his decision to use them in the first place. That's the thing I have against Rodriguez, as well as many other players of his era, in spite of a statistically significant career. I do wish him luck in his broadcasting career with Fox Sports, though. I think he made a fantastic analyst last postseason.
2 Homers, and a grand slam, 9 RBIs off Cy Young winner Colon... absolutely ludicrous. Then he just runs around the bases like it's something you just do.
1:07 Im watching the documentary Screwball. In this game A Rod was on a doping program for a week and due to his 3 homer game against the royals, made him a true believer of the regiment.
Not excusing his doping, but people seem to forget steroids dont magically make you an excellent batter at the plate. You still need to be skilled enough to read and react to pitches on an extremely high level to do what he did.
disagree, it helps you recover a lot faster. say you had a shitty at bat where you got jammed and it hurt a bit. steroids help that guy bounce back for the next ab or next game
Hes been punished 100x more than the other massive majority of playesr doing the same thing. Doesn't excuse it, but cmon. He also is a genuinely lowkey good guy.
That first 3 HR game was off Bartolo Colon, who won the Cy Young Award that year. Sure, he was juicing, but how many of the pitchers were? No one ever seems to talk about that. Say what you want about all the shit he pulled off the field, but he was a great player on it.
A-Rod only took steroids while playing for the Rangers. The fact that he's been able to amass incredible seasons while in Seattle and New York truly shows that he is one of the greats
So sad. Alex Rodriguez was an excellent baseball player. He did not have to cheat. He had a God given gift to play baseball. Cheating ruined on the greatest baseball careers ever.
el mejor pelotero de la grandes liga por encima de cualquier pelotero gringo no me importa lo que se metió alex rodriguez a mi nadie me dice en la otra época que se metían esos pelotero que tanto le dan gloria porque no había control como ahora.
Arod was incredible, check this out... sitting on a 13 year streak of 30 HR & 100 RBI seasons.... in 2009 going into final game of regular season he has 28 HR and 93 RBI. OF course he hit 2 Bombs and 7 RBI. next year, 2010, going into last game has 29 HR. Yes he connected on another HR for his 15th season with > 30 HR & 100 RBI
He was so good at Seattle, no idea why he took roids later in life. He did say he first took them when he went to Texas because he felt pressured to do well after that huge contract. If true, he should have more confidence in himself.

Antwon Jenkins exactly raw talent. Still takes skill to hit a ball coming at you at 95 mph
You're never entirely clean after you've cheated. Steroids don't disappear after you've taken them.

Oh please.
nah all steroids just like his entire career
1:19 - that lil hop was uncharacteristically great😂😂😂😂
The booing switching to cheering in Minnesota is cold
Watching Arod hit 3 homeruns off of Colon was super exciting.
The best part of this video is seeing Aaron Hicks in a different uniform. Those were the good old days.

the best in his generation by far

Alex Rodriguez made the ML and Media look very small in 2015. A-Rod the best player in this game.
Nope not even close
@@flamez2799definitely close lol easily a top 10 player of all time
The GOAT! I love you A-God
He's a fuckin God
Huge Arod fan right here.
+Vinícius Diger I join you guys. He is the GOAT!
Damn right he is. I only wish he came to the Yankees sooner.
+brett hood me TOO.. we are few and far between my nigga
Oh man Oh baby the swagg on that 2nd homer vs KC was SWAGGTASTIC
He also had 3-homer games as a player for the Seattle Mariners & Texas Rangers.

bartolo was Suspended for peds as well
Arod didn't juice that year.
Bartolo was juicing as well
When Arod was on he was the best hitter in the Majors no doubt.
A-Rod only took steroids while playing for the Rangers. The fact that he's been able to amass incredible seasons while in Seattle and New York truly shows that he is one of the greats
Ash Ketchum he was taking them when he was in Seattle
Gave me the chills
2:45 "Alex Rodriguez with a TREMENDOUS homerun"
California made a note of that 2005 3 HR, 9 RBI game. During the 2005 ALDS they beaned him twice and walked him six times.
Greatest of all time right after Barry Bonds
A-Rod, Ken Griffey Jr, Manny Ramirez, Mike Trout, and Bryce Harper have the smoothest swings I’ve ever seen
Site fijas lo hizo cada 5 años dar 3 home run valla que coincidencia 2005 -2010 - 2015
No comments only action-packed love A-ROD****
So sad. Alex Rodriguez was an excellent baseball player. He did not have to cheat. He had a God given gift to play baseball. Cheating ruined on the greatest baseball careers ever.

alex rodriguez él mejor pelotero del mundos
Pienso que el debe estar en lo primero 5 de la historia.
There's some 3 Home Run games missing. He had more with the Yankees, some of those are missing and also had with the Mariners and Rangers.
el mejor pelotero de la grandes liga por encima de cualquier pelotero gringo no me importa lo que se metió alex rodriguez a mi nadie me dice en la otra época que se metían esos pelotero que tanto le dan gloria porque no había control como ahora.
Lo colocó dentro de lo primero 5 de la historia

2005, 2010, 2015. Hm...... every 5 years? not bad

FORG1V3
Rafael Orozco binomio de oro

Anyone else notice that these 3 HR games happen exactly every 5 years (2005,2010,2015)?
gotta love seeing bartolo colon getting shelled
the best
Mi pelotero favorito de todos lo tienpo
All with 5 years of diference . '05 '10 and 2015
I really wish he never did PEDs cause let me tell ya, the stats would probably be the same and we’d be talking about him as one of the GOATs
He was so good at Seattle, no idea why he took roids later in life. He did say he first took them when he went to Texas because he felt pressured to do well after that huge contract. If true, he should have more confidence in himself.
An A-Bomb for A-Rod
Arod top 5of all time
JESUS CHRIST! WHAT A BOMB!
Future cupers tow
El mejor
el . mejor
Pero no habia manager en ese juego k dejo a Bartolo colon
Yankees should of let him play until he hit 700 ending at 696 someday he will regret it.
I wonder what his career would have been like if he never got caught doing steroids.
He might've been taking steroids since high school so there really is no way to know.
Justin Roscoe He would've never missed a season..
Todabia puede jugar
aaron judge is doing that a s he not on ped!!!!!! just gifted big 6'7 282 with 13hr hitting 313 with 26 rbi and 26 r
Steroids where working GD those nights
Top five Greatest yankee ever. If this was all steroids then why didn’t everyone take them and perform like this?
Esteroidea
True steroids dont make you a better hitter. But....with extra power routine fly balls can turn into home runs
El mejor coño
That game against the royals he was on roids
Ok get a new line announcer, dont need to say the same thing 3 times lmao
roids but sold good.
Alex Roidriguez the Lance Armstrong of baseball. You get it? Roid as in steROIDs
John Sterling is easily the worst announcer of all time.
Why?
