Of course, he had to go the opposite direction. I wish he would have stayed as “underdog” from Spring Training, got boo’ed all year and then kicked outta town.

Without A-Rod even the match up against Boston would not have been with the Yankees having a winning record. But fair weather fans like to bash A-Rod for looking to get paid what the market will pay him. You "fans" would have turned your back on Babe Ruth, DiMaggio and all the others who believed they deserved to be paid their worth. Post season or regular season, both are important. If you don't win enough in the regular season though, then you don't even have an outside chance. That what you "fans" want? No chance? The A-Rod hatred is pathetic. The only reason he was probably cheered this year was because he could opt out and fairweather fans then realised what he brings to the plate.

Reggie was awful in the 1977 ALCS, his teammates picked up his back and the rest is history. Had Matsui or Sheffield gotten one more hit in the 2004 ALCS, A-Rod may have gone on to own the World Series. History does not afford us the luxury of apples-to-apples comparisons.
