Fans help keep A-Rod in Bronx
This is a story about Anthony and A-Rod. One you know. The other you don’t. If you are a Yankees fan, know this: You owe your undying thanks to Anthony. Perhaps.
Three-time MVP Alex Rodriguez and the New York Yankees continue to hammer out the terms of a new, mega monster deal. The numbers are unfathomable to most of us, 10 years for $275 million, probably more after you factor in the bonus potential.
We may soon know the influences that first drove A-Rod to opt out of New York, and then opt back in. He has said that the true story will soon be known. We don’t need to wait. It was Anthony.
Anthony Berardi is 11 years-old, and a 6th grader at Our Lady of Mount Carmel. Anthony is baseball crazy, a Yankees fan, and his favorite player is Alex Rodriguez. When A-Rod said he wanted out of New York, Anthony was angry.
“Being a huge A-Rod fan, I was disappointed, and mad,” Anthony said.
Anthony is a boy of action. Some just call sports radio programs to weep and whine. Not Anthony.
“When I first heard about it, I went to the computer and wrote A-Rod an e-mail,” Anthony said. “I was mad he opted out. I asked him why. I told him that the Yankees would give him the greatest opportunity, and that he would have a better career if he stayed with them.”
Maybe the big lug at third base listened.
