THE RECORD
Good luck to anyone trying to figure why Alex Rodriguez has become the Yankees’ best hitter, despite all the factors that should’ve been working against him. That includes his age, the yearlong drug suspension, two surgically repaired hips and going cold turkey on PEDs. We think.
Let’s address this last point first. I have to assume Rodriguez is playing clean in 2015; it would be professional suicide to resume cheating after being caught, confessing and being subjected to industrywide humiliation. Not even A-Rod is pathological enough to return to the scene of the crime — even though, remember, he never did test positive.
But let’s give the slugger the benefit of the doubt in exploring why he went into Saturday night’s game against Tampa Bay with a team-best .344 average, four home runs and .781 slugging percentage. It’s great news for manager Joe Girardi, whose lineup needs the boost, as well as the fans, who are panicking at possibly missing the playoffs for the third straight year while the crosstown Mets are surging.
