Alex Rodriguez hit another walk off home run today to help the Yankees come from behind to beat the Indians 8 to 6. It was a 3 run homer as he came to the plate with the Yanks down 6 to 5 with 2 outs. Rodriguez has gone from the goat of the past to the hero of the present.
Rodriguez's stats for the young season are incredible.
Nearly Bondsian.
Current NumbersBatting Average: .351 (Bondsian.)
OBP: .421 (Not quite Bondsian.)
SLG: .965 (Bondsian.)
HR: 10 (Bondsian.)
Strikeouts: 17 (17 strike outs in 61 at bats? Definitely NOT Bondsian here.)
Walks: 7 (Nope.)
RBI: 26 (Well Barry never batted cleanup for an all star team.)
And to drag out the old tried & true "at this rate..."/"on pace for..."
A-Rod is on pace for 116 HR and 301 RBI.Of course there's no way he can keep up this pace all season but I must admit those particular numbers are even past Bondsian!
