Alex and his half-brother, Victor

[DODGER DEB]

The NY Times has a nice human interest story today on A-ROD and his half-brother, Victor, who is quite accomplished in his own right.

Thought you might find it an intersting read....

It shows that A-Rod isn't just controversy in a human body. Personally i believe the NY fans give him too much bs when he's struggling but im not saying they can't though....
it shows he has feelings like the rest of us

You are both quite welcome, YBF and sandlot.

Interesting read. :lookitup

I didn't realize Alex even had a half-brother.

Fascinating!!
Man, I can just see the Yanks, or whatever team ARod ends up with, totally freaking about him going to Afghanistan...but, it would be a wonderful thing for him to do.
Looks like Victor Sr. was about 46 when ARod was born...mine was even older when I was born, 49. Wonder if his Dad could play catch with him...mine would throw the ball 2-3 times, grab his shoulder and grimace, and go back into the house for a beer.
My pitchback net became my catch buddy!

I'd seen this thread earlier. Perhaps way too late, my apologies, but many thanks for posting that here, DEB! :D
