From steroids to celebrations, what a year it's been for Alex Rodriguez
NEW YORK -- The last image we saw of Alex Rodriguez in the 2009 season was very different from the first one. In the beginning, A-Rod was, as he has so often been throughout a career marked by excesses of tumult and talent, the center of attention for all the wrong reasons. In February, he sat in a tent in Tampa, Fla., at the Yankees spring training complex and tried in vain to fight back tears and explain how and why he had taken Steroids when he was with the Texas Rangers.

The Pop-Psychologizing Of Alex Rodriguez Will Never End [Duan!]
A-Rod finished the postseason with a .365/.500/.808 line. Apparently, this had nothing to do with his being a wonderful ballplayer and everything to do with personal transformation, moral courage and self-actualization. Meet your 2009 playoffs MVP: Freakin' Jonathan Livingston Seagull. No other player has been so afflicted with the terrible pop psychology of sportswriters as Alex Rodriguez , and even now that he's just won the championship that he was supposedly too selfish and inner-directed...

A-Rod Goes Commercial: PHOTO
Sounds like he may get a second chance with this new image of his!

Basically advertisers wanted nothing to do with him. But A-Rod has seemingly cleaned up his act and with a World Series win under his belt he's looking much more marketable these days. His Hollywood actress...
