A-Rod broke into the big leagues and almost won the MVP award in his first season. Great start.

You've got a selective memory.

ARod broke into the Majors in July of 1994. I was at his first game at Fenway Park. He didn't do much of anything that year and started the next season in the minors.

He then got called up about a two and a half weeks into the 1995 season and then went back and forth between the Majors and AAA accumulating just 142 at bats in Seattle. He didn't hit very well with .232/.264/.408 #s.

It was only in 1996 that ARod broke out and led the AL with a .358 batting average.

Dude, you know what I mean. I know damn well he came up and had a cup of coffee before 1996. He was also a teenager those years IIRC. And out of my entire post, it's funny that that is all you picked apart. I said A-Rod wasn't bi-racial, and only cared about his superhuman stats. lol.
