Well, if I wasn't trying to make it as a musical artist, I guess I would have chosen baseball: I'm a San Jose native and A's baseball has been a huge part of my life since I was a child. My passions are my fiancee', sports, poker, nature, poetry, cooking, film, and
enjoying the company of my friends and family. Oh! And Athletics Nation rules!

Go A's! -M-Rod
