Alex Rodriguez to be Honored on September 13th

The New York Yankees are finally ready to save face and honor their DH Alex Rodriguez for hitting his 3,000^th hit in his Major League career. The Yankees will honor Rodriguez in a special pre-game ceremony on September 13^th before the team plays host to the Toronto Blue Jays. Alex hit his 3,000^th hit at Yankee Stadium on a home run off the Detroit Tigers ace Justin Verlander that was ultimately caught and held ransom by Zack Hample.

Whether the Yankees are trying to save face or if they are simply looking to benefit from another presumed sellout at Yankee Stadium remains to be seen but in the end it doesn’t matter. Alex will be honored the way he should be and the fans, whether they stuck with him or not throughout the whole steroid suspension and Biogenesis fallout, will be able to cheer on the Yankees legend. Kudos to Hal Steinbrenner and the entire Yankees organization on this one, you get two thumbs up from this guy.
