That was my reaction.” In an interview with ESPN’s Peter Gammons, Derek Jeter’s teammate A-Rod revealed, “felt an enormous amount of pressure” being on the team.
The young gun shortstop added, “I felt like I had all the weight of the world on top of me and I needed to perform, and perform at a high level every day, back then, [baseball] was a different culture.”
Alex Rodriguez added in his admission, “It was very loose. I was young. I was stupid. I was naive. And I wanted to prove to everyone that I was worth being one of the greatest players of all time. I did take a banned substance, and for that, I am very sorry and deeply regretful.”
