A-Rod

A-Rod is a mathematical equation with an improbable answer.

Zero big postseason hits + zero winning seasons in Texas + one improved record by Texas when he left + zero American League championships + zero World Series trophies = 25 million dollars.

The act of admitting to doing something wrong only after you have been totally busted.

Taken from the abbreviation of Alex Rodriguez, a former Seattle Mariners baseball player who signed to the Texas Rangers for what was then considered the highest wage (approx. $25 million) in American Baseball. Later, he resigned to the New York Yankees.

Sometimes A-Rod is seen as a positive distinction for someone who is popular and likable, possibly even affluent and sought after. However, in most places (i.e., Washington State, Texas) being called an A-Rod is considered an insult, meaning “sell-out” or even as a derogatory term for someone who is sexually easy, male or female. The term can be used to describe others in the media, sports, or television, or known acquaintances.

Can be used as an adjective, sometimes a noun.

v. To Slap Balls.

n. Highest payed player in baseball who has not won a World Series pennant, nor has won a League Pennant, nor has had any significant postseason success, nor can fight like a man, and... he slaps balls.
