Alex Rodriguez Appeal 2013: A-Rod Rant Criticizes MLB Commissioner Bud Selig, Maintains Innocence
Alex Rodriguez was understandably furious after realizing that Major League Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig would not be testifiying at his hearing, but not many people expected what happened next.
The popular Yankees slugger marched to WFAN's studios to catch up with another popular face in New York - Mike Francesa - and the two shared their concerns with the way the league has thrown Rodriguez under the bus in the latest developments surrounding the biogenesis scandal that rocked baseball.
Rodriguez is currently appealing the monstrous suspension that could end his career. He claims that the league is treating him unfairly and that they were conspiring to put an end to his career.
"Listen, they (MLB) accused you," Francesa said when A-Rod went on the record. "They said they had mountains of evidence. They said they could prove you did worse than this... You know how I feel. You've gotten railroaded... I don't know if you've done steroids again or not, that's your business. You're stating here now that you've never done anything. You should be fighting this tooth and nail... I would've been outraged long before this."
"Today I lost my mind," Rodriguez said, referring to his reaction when he noticed that Selig would not be showing up. "I banged a table, kicked a briefcase and slammed out of the room."
"I know you don't like New York, but you've got to come face me," Rodriguez continued. "This is my legacy. I'm part of history. You tell me why I should serve one inning. Cause you're retiring next year? That's not fair, Mike."
