A-Rod Exists

Two months sago I pointed out some Yankees pettiness vis-a-vis A-Rod:

I’ve mentioned before the potential backlash of the media’s disdain for A-Rod incredibly turning public favor into his corner, and it looks like the Yankees themselves are continuing their pettiness by ignoring his home run in yesterday’s spring training game.

Yes, it’s just a pretend game, but the account did a rolling play-by-play throughout the game and “just happened” to ignore A-Rod’s dinger.

The Yankees seem to be softening a bit; of course it helps that A-Rod's been one of the most productive hitters on a team currently in 1st place in the AL East. Amazing what that'll do to public/private opinion.
