It's tough to call it a letter from your ex, asking to take them back. Alex Rodriguez went on a break from the New York Yankees and Major League Baseball after cheating. It was bad. He had hurt fans deeply. He cheated again, when we let him back into our hearts.
As a lifelong Yankees fan though, how much do I really care for this handwritten letter A-Rod issued Tuesday? Is it anything more than a pathetic ex asking to be taken back? Unfortunately for Yankees fans, we don't have much of a choice. He's coming back whether we're okay about it or not.
The apology from Rodriguez is more of a "Hey, remember me?" than any mea culpa. His penmanship, in script with blue ink, starts "To the Fans," and concludes "Sincerely, Alex." In between are four paragraphs, 211 words that address his suspension, his dissenters and of course, his goals.
