The Resume

    (July 27, 1975- )
    Born in New York City
    Shortstop for the Seattle Mariners (1994-2000), Texas Rangers (2000-2004) and NY Yankees (February 16, 2004-August 12, 2016)
    Signed a record breaking contract for a baseball player ($252,000,000 for 10 years)
    AL MVP (2003, 2005, 2007)
    #3, #13 with NY Yankees

Why he might be annoying:

    He claims he is the most valuable player in baseball, yet he never won a World Series, let alone a league championship.
    He couldn't win a league championship on the Seattle Mariners, even with help from Ken Griffey Jr, Jay Buhner, Edgar Martinez, and Randy Johnson.
    He says he deserves more money than his friend, Derek Jeter (NY Yankees), because Jeter is not as good a player.
    (Jeter has 4 World Series rings, 1 All-Star game MVP and 1 World Series MVP, A-Rod has none.)
    During a Mariner-Yankee fight, he and Jeter ignored the fight and just talked while their teammates were getting pummeled.
    He made numerous embarrassing demands in his contract and got the following:
    a private jet, a kiosk for selling his stuff at the ball park, a luxury box at every stadium, an office at the stadium, a guarantee to be on more billboards in the home city than any other sports star of that town, a guarantee to be paid $1 more than any future highest paid baseball player, plus an escape clause after 7 years if he wants out of the contract.
    If you're a baseball fan, his salary comes out of your pocket.
    On the same day he was to begin attending the University of Miami. he was signed by the Seattle Mariners and didn't go to college (August 30, 1993).

Why he might not be annoying:

    He is one of the best power hitting shortstops in the history of the game.
    He is ranked in People Magazine's 50 Most Beautiful People in the World (1998 and 2001).
    He agreed to switch positions, even though he is the best offensive/defensive shortstop to play third base to join the Yankees.
    At 32, he became the youngest major leaguer to hit his 500th home run (August 4, 2007).
    He hit his 600th career home run (August 4, 2010).
    He collected his 3,000th career hit (June 19, 2015).
