Cornered man: Alex Rodriguez turns 38 as MLB investigates, Yankees fume

NEW YORK, N.Y. – Alex Rodriguez’s corner locker in the New York Yankees’ clubhouse is filled with four cardboard boxes of bats, a dozen jerseys, a dangling athletic supporter, two baseball caps and four books.

Whether he uses the stall again remains to be seen.

Rodriguez turned 38 Saturday, and is something of a cornered man himself these days.

The Yankees consider him a major annoyance, and any time now, Rodriguez is expected to be hit with a lengthy penalty that could put him out of baseball indefinitely or perhaps even permanently.

After a week’s worth of high drama, second-guessing and radio interviews, it seems Rodriguez is about to be lumped with Yankees who sort of just didn’t fit, failed or just faded away rather than the Monument Park greats.
