Alex Rodriguez was the golden child of MLB at one point. Of course, that was back when he played for the Seattle Mariners. When he left the Mariners for the Texas Rangers and signed what was the richest contract in the history of baseball, the disdain towards him started to grow.

After three years in Texas, he headed east to the Yankees and towards his inevitable doom. In the regular season, A-Rod was phenomenal but once the playoffs came around, milk cartons would have his face on them because the kid went missing! They finally won a world series in 2009 but after that, fans learned he had used performance-enhancing drugs during his stint in Texas. However, his beau Jennifer Lopez doesn’t seem to mind.
