Alex Rodriguez has completely turned public perception about him around over the past few years, thanks mostly to his new role as a studio analyst. He’s been showing off his baseball smarts in a relatable and endearing way and even those who once strongly disliked him have come around a bit.
It’s a huge success story, one that would have been almost unimaginable only a few years ago. But what a new Instagram video from A-Rod is here to tell you is ... what if it’s not his own doing?
Rodriguez posted a video of his girlfriend Jennifer Lopez in their home with a whiteboard, mapping out the Billy Beane-era Athletic’s and describing Moneyball. Spliced in with Lopez’s baseball lesson is Rodriguez giving the same spiel on a Fox pregame show.
Now, Jennifer Lopez is a perfect human being. She’s a huge Yankees fan and probably knows her stuff. At the same time, this definitely seems like she and A-Rod just decided to have some fun while they were hanging out at home, rather than it being proof that all of A-Rod success is due to Lopez. (Although both can be true.)
That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t just give Lopez her own baseball show. Some working titles for it:
- Jenny From The Trading Block
- Glove Don’t Cost a Thing
- Maid on Men Hittin’
- The Batting Planner
- Moneyball Train
- Shall We Batting Stance?
- Out of Strikes
- Comerica Parker
- Green Monster-In-Law
- The Bat Boy Next Door
- Jerseys Girl
- Batting Ordertown
- Shades of Dodger Blue
