MATERIAL THIRD BASEMAN
Yankees star Alex Rodriguez was photographed at a recent Madonna concert. At the Miami stop on the "Sticky & Sweet Tour," A-Rod apparently sat between Rod Stewart and Guy Oseary, who serves as business manager to A-Rod and Madonna, among others.
In this picture we have learned:
• A-Rod is Madonna's youngest fan.
• Despite being prone to choking, A-Rod is brave enough to wear scarves.
• A-Rod is obviously not viewing any of Madonna's movies, because he appears to be enjoying himself.
• A-Rod enjoys the hits of the '80s, '90s and today!
• It's impossible to look good dancing to "Papa Don't Preach."
• A-Rod finally did something that made people forget about the 2004 playoffs.
• Tom Brady's press conference wardrobe is being put to good use.
