Just Like A Prayer, You Know I’ll Take You There: A-Rod and Jose Similarities?

Alex Rodriguez and Jose Canseco are two men who differ in many ways. One is at the height of his playing career, while the other is broke and embroiled in a post-career controversy. One is a Hall of Fame bound superstar, while the other is struggling to stay on reality tv. One plays for the Yankees, while the other last played for the Long Beach Armada. However, with all of these differences it’s tough to overlook the apparent similarities between two men at each end of the baseball consciousness:

Background
A-Rod and Canseco both grew up and played high school baseball in the Miami are before being drafted out of high school. Rodriguez was a highly touted prospect, but both went on to join the 40-40 club of which only four men are members. While both are members of this exclusive fraternity, one cannot overlook the best remembered highlights of their respective careers.

Signature Embarrassing Moments
First, let’s talk about Jose and the highlight that is banned from youtube by MLB. You know the highlight I’m talking about, so we’ll just say he fucked up worse than Heidi when she pissed off LC. As for A-rod, we’ll just say that he resemble either of the Hills duo with his limp-wristed slap in the ALCS.

Penchant for Playboy
Last Summer there was the Stray-Rod scandal involving a girl who was only good enough to be on Cyber Playboy. Apparently he tried to step it up a notch and get a girl that was actually in the mag, too bad it was Jose’s wife. I bet part of you wishes that happened, I can see them now as some guests on Maury because they are definitely too high profile for Jerry.

The Material Girl is En Vogue
Now, the two have one more thing in common, an obvious relationship with Madonna in which both are denying having sex. Madonna has proven over the years to be more of a nympho than Heather Graham in Boogie Nights.

Jose has already proven to be a little nuts with his appearance on Surreal Life, but A-Rod starting to seem a little too Tom Cruise for myself as a fan and L. Ron Hubbard has no place in pinstripes. Here is the inevitable headline: A-Rod and Madonna Form Scientology-Kabbalah School In Africa.
