That hate tends to subside when you become one of the best options your team has. This is the case for Alex Rodriguez, who's actually been doing pretty well so far. As you'd guess from the headline, he didn't fall off a week after that disappointing marathon against the Red Sox.
A-Rod took the Rays' Nathan Karns pitch in the second inning and straight-up sent that shit. The result was a 471-yard home run, the longest of the season.
The hit moved Rodriguez past Derek Jeter (1,923) on the all-time runs scored list and...wait? He scored two home runs?!
So with that, there's this.
#Yankees Alex Rodriguez has his 61st career multi-HR game. He ranks 7th all-time, just one behind Hank Aaron.
