A-Rod makes a fashion statement

This photo is of Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez on Saturday night.
What might A-Rod have been doing? He was attending the Madonna concert in Miami. Alex is apparently dating Madonna.
That’s fine. To each his own. Here’s the question: What is that thing around his neck?
Is it a tie? A scarf? A leash? Some sort of animal? It was 57 degrees in Miami on Saturday night. That rules out a scarf.
He did get the cool backstage pass, however. A-Rod must know somebody in the band.

it’s him man leash – sometimes he’s a real woman! must be why he likes drama!
It’s the thing that Freddy from Scooby Doo used to wear around his neck. An Ascot.
whatever that thing is, he went down a few notches on the manliness scale for it
More troubling to me is the adoring gaze. She owns his sorry ass.
As long as peeling her grapes doesn’t make him late for the games, I don’t care if he’s wearing her garments in public.
As someone who has dated Mage in the past… Its the last bit of original clothing from that poor African child she adopted/kidnapped a couple of years ago…
we get it, he’s a strange dude. who cares….. Anyone that thought A-Rod was masculine should probably question their own manhood…..
Madonna’s panties?
Houston we have a problem.
Wow, A Rod is probably the biggest tool in baseball.
it’s an ascot.
Kabbalah noose?
IT’S AROD…. DOING ‘SOMETHING’.
BIG NEWS…. BIGGGGGGGGGGGGG NEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWS.
HE’S DOING SOMETHING. AROD IS DOING SOMETHING!
IT’S BIGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG NEWS!
Wow, I can’t get over the fact that he is dating Madonna. Of all the chicks he picks, Madonna.
Wasn’t there some gibberish about him flirting it up with Kate Hudson a few weeks back. At least she’s not 50 to A-Rod’s 32.
This guy loves the spotlight.
I take that back – Papelbon clearly owns that title.
Combination scarf/do-rag given to him by Madonna he’ll wear into combat.
Best I can do.
Come on guys it doesn’t have to be “big news” to post on a blog. Its just a funny picture of A-rod. Whats wrong with poking a little fun at him, he is a pretty goofy guy. He’s a great baseball player but he’s pretty dysfunctional otherwise.
It kills me that A-rod dates Madonna. He could have scores of younger, more beautiful women (like Jeter) and yet he goes for Madonna.
“Gonna dress you up in my love”
There’s still plenty of time before baseball season for the two of them to escape to some remote part of the world to adopt an orphan.
is this people magazine now? cmon pete.
Another inane thread started by Luella Parsons. Pure class.
57 degrees does not even come close to ruling out a scarf. I live in Charleston, SC and let me tell you, the scarves come out around 65 degrees. A-Rod lives(d) in Miami, so, 57 must be like 32.
It’s not so much that he’s wearing a scarf, but the scarf that he is wearing and the way that he is wearing it. He needs to be wearing a large overcoat and a different type of scarf to begin to look anything like a man. Derek Jeter and Tom Brady would never be caught this way.
And damnit, A-Rod, I can’t stand Madonna. Your wife was a thousand times better.
Whatever it is, it ain’t no ascot ( and it looks more like pantyhose than panties-those are huge, & Madonna has 0 butt ), I just don’t think it works with the rest of his duds. I don’t think he gets ‘ out ‘ much. . ..
forget the neck scarf. The real issue is that he only got a sticky pass not a laminate pass. If you really know someone you get the laminate not the sticky lol.
I dont get the whole Madonna/ Arod relationship, I mean the dude can get sooo much younger and hotter tang, 20-25yr old tang no way compares to 50yr old dried up tang, regardless if its madonna or not. Im just saying.
Pete
If you’re gonna go for the big lead in to get to the punchline, at least be more accurate than a page 6 column. Madonna and A-Rod weren’t in Miami on Saturday night.
Take it easy on him, maybe she turn him around like Annie in Bull Durham, you know, cause 35 hr and 100 + rbi makes me opine for Mike Lowell or Joe Crede.
Man scarves are in fashion, somewhat, now. Its the “in” thing to wear.
Who cares as long as he hits the ball.
“57 degrees does not even come close to ruling out a scarf. I live in Charleston, SC and let me tell you, the scarves come out around 65 degrees. A-Rod lives(d) in Miami, so, 57 must be like 32.”
Are you kidding me? I just moved from Tampa after living there for many years, and 57 does not condone a scarf. Never, unless your are trying to be a little princess and “be super!”.
I am in Michigan now, there is about 8 inches of snow on the ground, and I still do not where a scarf. I suppose come February I will get neck warmer or something, but come one buddy…this is bad.
Maybe the scarf would look better if he was wearing it with a WS ring…
at least it doesn’t clash with his purple lipstick
bdog, you don’t wear a scarf because you aren’t fly like A-rod. He’s a fashion guru, enough said.
OH God, I just hope he does well next season. If that psycho that he is dating doesn’t ruin him I’ll be okay. But it looks like she is already chipping away at his manhood.
Isn’t it a “Ker-chief”? Popular with the Ralph Furley’s of the world.
Oh man, it soo looks like leash. He looks like a puppy, especially with his hands like that.
He just can’t handle pressure. After the divorce, there was pressure on him to find a new GF, and ofcourse he swings at something low and in the dirt.
Babe Ruth must be with Mickey having a laugh somewhere.
Looks like there’s no controversy to which team A-rod is playing for in this year’s World Baseball classic.
It appears that Arod is sporting a Cravat.

I think Cash needs to take Alex away, and get someone to un-brainwash him. Cash should be very worried about Alex’s odd behavior. We do have 9 more years of this.

Arod should be dating Tom Cruise, not Madonna.
Bleacher Creature P.J.
LOL!!!
If he shows up like a chump again this year, the fans should break this idiot in half, and make him cry like the little mary boy that he is.
Wow the men on this blog are awfully concerned with what Arod wears, who he dates, what city he’s in…. getting to be a little creepy no?
As for when to wear a scraf…..I do believe its when you are cold…not some blogger on a website. I love 85-90 weather where most people think that is too hot. 60 and below and I’m freezing and will wear gloves (little knit ones) because my hands get cold easily.
Somewhere in private Jeter and Torre are laughing their a$$es off
It’s called shopping at Barneys instead of Modells. More guys should try it.

This guy is one of the strangest stories I can think of. I guess if he doesn’t shoot himself or anyone else, I can live with it. As long as he smashes at the plate and plays a solid 3rd base..
Carlton Banks?
A-Rod equals the quintessential attention craver. Watch him in the on deck circle after he takes a power practice swing. He has to look in the seats to see who is looking at him.
Which would you prefer to see a man wear a scarf or a gold thong?
Gorgeous, date-worthy 50 year old women do in fact exist… The problem is, Madonna is not one of them.
Sully, OB and the rest of the Nation are gonna have lots of fun with this. Yet another reason to hate Arod.
Vince has spoken….thanks on the tip for who is date-able and who isn’t. ~sigh
Is he wearing lip gloss?
I really don’t see what the big deal is. He’s probably doing what he wants, without taking into consideration of the attention he receives. Either way he’ll be criticized, so if he wants to be fashionable I don’t see the why it’s so bad. And for the person who brought up the gay thing, so what if he is? Does that affect how he’ll play baseball in any way? No…..Maybe Madonna has made him happier, that’s what should matter, not the public perception.
just confirms something I’ve thought about a-rod for a long time…
he has dynamite fashion sense!
mark- people don’t think he is thinking for himself. He is doing what Madonna wants him to do.
Looks like Arod is enjoying himself – imagine that, someone out doing something instead of staring at a %$#@! screen all day in anticipation of anything Yankee news related.
Arod ain’t the sad one in this “room.”
Whatever, as long as he hits he can wear anything he wants.
Paplebum and Jose Reyes are more fruity those 2 should be kicked out of baseball.
Sheesh!
Some people jump on Pete for posting this, saying it’s not news. Well, this is a blog. Pete posts whatever he thinks is amusing or interesting. That’s why he posts stuff about Bruce Springsteen that has nothing to do with baseball.
Then there are the people jumping all over A-Rod for looking goofy in a photo (or for acting like an idiot, in general). Lighten up. First of all, I’d bet all of us have been photographed looking like a goofball. Second of all, the guy is human, and makes just as many bad decisions as the rest of us. Anyway, sure A-Rod could be with many different women. Maybe he’s always had a thing for Madonna, and now he’s getting to live out some fantasy. Or maybe she’s just much cooler in person than her public persona leads people to believe. Who cares? Sure, it’s amusing, which is why I don’t care that Pete posts about it — he tries to keep it humorous. But some people take this nonsense so seriously.
It must be an athlete thing. See who else “sports” the same fashion sense.

It must be an athlete thing. Tom Brady and David Beckham wear their scarves like this too. I tried to post the photo link but the filter mustn’t have liked the gossipy source it came from.
Dare I say it? Gay-Rod.
Its 57 so that rules out a scarf?
Ha! At 57 degrees its time to break out the coat, ski cap and gloves. You’ll be amazed at what some people wear in Florida at 57 degrees.
That’s the least manly thing I’ve ever seen.
El Terible, as the Spaniards would say.
It’s called a shmatta. That’s the technical name for it.
You’re welcome.
Looking at the way he is dressed and how he is standing I wonder if he is looking at Madonna or the boys dancers she has on the stage with her.
Pete can post whatever he wants, its his blog – especially hilarious and embarassing pics of PayRod like this.
The man makes it IMPOSSIBLE to like him. Could he look like a bigger dork? She’s reduced the “best player in the game” to a scarf-wearing-concert groupie. When will he wake up and realize she’s using him?
~*~*~*~*~
absolutely hilarious:
“Gonna dress you up in my love”
“Derek Jeter and Tom Brady would never be caught this way.”
It must be something Madonna threw to him from the stage, part of her onstage outfit. I mean, geez, I hope that’s what it is. It also looks like his hair is in need of frosting again.
Great pic NYYankFan. Tom Brady was equally fashionable in his scarf(?) In fact one of my classmates had hers tied around her neck just like Brady did. LOL
Extremely severe case of being henpecked!
Albert Pujols is the best player in the game. Not A-Rod.
stanzy,
I think you’re wrong about Peter’s motives here. He is on a mission to make the fans hate ARod as much as he does.
He knew exactly what he was doing here. Posting the picture with his commentary, particularly mentioning “a leash” were meant to incite exactly the type of sexist, contemptuous and homophobic comments we’ve seen.
I agree with YankeeDiva – the men here (including Peter) are way to interested in what ARod is wearing and doing. I don’t know if it makes them feel better about their own masculinity, or if it’s purely jealously, but regardless, it’s pretty pathetic.
The man hasn’t broken any laws, or done anything to harm his ability to play, so get off his back already.
Brent, it’s EL TERRIBLE, not terible…
YankeeDiva… fans are concern that his personal life is affecting his game… I think they should ban Madonna from Yankee Stadium, IF, and ONLY IF his game goes doooooown…
Clare, you couldn’t be more wrong…I don’t think its jealousy,maybe if it was the 80s I would understand because Madonna looked way better then, right now she looks very unhealthy..
Men and Female Yankee fans are concerned if he is this whipped with this brainwasher his game is gonna go down the drain… his weak and his personal life affects his game… and let’s face it, it affects the team too…
Ziny,
You don’t know anything about his alleged relationship with Madonna. First, there’s no evidence he’s “whipped”, and even if he was, so what? What’s the problem with that, except that he doesn’t fit some outdated standard of masculinity?
Second, we’ve seen in the past that absolutely nothing affects his game. So, worrying about his game is just a very thin cover to express misogyny or homophobia.
Every’s dating the bass player…not Madonna!
I’m a woman… and well… I don’t consider this year to be his best, so yeah…. Come on… alleged?? really??? *rolls eyes*
Waiting on 27… that could be why he’s being linked to Madonna… it’s a cover to his true sexuality… as long as it does not affect the team or the game its all good!
A-Rod is 33 and Madonna is half century old.
He is really out of his mind.
It’s a S(carf)tie.Stie. You know, like that thing you get in your eye.
Memo to Jeter, Posada and the rest of the team: it’s time for an intervention.
He might not be gay… but he’s definitely a BOTTOM
PeteRNY … I agree with you!
Is “dating” the polite term for what you call it when two people who are married to other people start fooling around when they are still married?
Does anyone know where the vest can be bought? Who made it? Cost?? Thanks!!
