A-Rod wooed ex-madam Kristin Davis with flowers, jewelry, persistence and heated e-mails, according to the sources. ...Through all his trials and tribulations, one thing A-Rod has never come across as is charming. Of course, our definition of charming is probably somewhat different than a 32-year-old buxom hooker-supplier's idea of charming.
Rodriguez' persistence is said to have paid off with the buxom, 32-year-old Davis. Though Davis' agencies typically charged clients more than $1,000 an hour, Davis told a friend: "Alex didn't pay me . . . I went out with him just because he was so flattering. I couldn't not give in."

It would appear that baseball is no different from any other endevor. The price of greatness is madness. This poor simple man who is so good at the game just can’t help himself for a minute. Madness!

Its about time pictures came with the story. Alex is a perfect example of never having to grow up. Hit a ball, get hundreds of millions of dollars at a young age and watch your life spin out of control.

It says a lot when a hooker’s credibility is worth more than yours. Maybe Pete Rose can be his attorney.

I have to wonder if Sean Avery got some sloppy thirds.

"Alex didn’t pay me…" $30M/yr and he stiffs her. Didn’t pay her either!

Who hasn’t he given A Rod to? No cornier than the rest of you fools.

phillies1980champs that is the best post I’ve read in a long time-faquing hilarious. What is it with A-Rod and his mommy issues? Going out with Tales from the Crypt looking Madonna and now paying for hookers? Rodriguez you are a real piece of work buddy.

It just never ends with this guy. Great baseball player, dysfunctional human being.

I wonder if Alex had to take the "other" PEDs to boost his performance with the gaggle of hookers. Anyway, I would like to apologize to Alex. I has him pegged wrong from the start. I always thought he had a thing for Jeter.
