Alex Rodriguez, Madge’s older boy toy, seems like a grandpa compared to Madge’s latest fling, Jesus Luz. But, we must admit, even though Madge got a hold of the baseball star, he is still kind of cute…in a metrosexual kind of way. A-Rod graces the cover of the April issue of Details magazine and dishes on his life in the public eye and of course, Madge. Check out some of the highlights below.
ON BEING IN THE PUBLIC EYE:
We live in a world right now where everyone’s keeping score. And it doesn’t stop when the games end. . . . They’ve crossed over. And you have the Internet stuff, and all these phones. . . . It’s very intense.
ON WHY HE DIDN’T ALWAYS HAVE HIS HEART SET ON BASEBALL:
I quit baseball at the age of 12. I was convinced I was going to play in the NBA. And my mother gives me an NBA roster and a highlighter and says, ‘Line out all the Dominican players you find there.’ I looked for 15 minutes and couldn’t find one. Then she pulls out a Major League Baseball roster—over 100 Latin players. ‘Okay, Mom.’ Two weeks later, I was back at baseball.
ON WHY HE’S LIKE HIS FELLOW NEW YORKERS:
I’ve taken the subway to the stadium. For night games. The day to do it is a Friday, because traffic is horrible…I have a hoodie on, but all it takes is one person and then you’re done. But it’s great. The fans get a kick out of it, I get a kick out of it. We talk about who’s pitching tonight, and what we need to do. It’s like being on sports radio.
ON MADGE:
Well, we’re friends. She’s an amazing entertainer. And it’s been amazing how she’s been able to stay on top for three decades. I have a lot of respect for her….She’s very smart and she’s passionate about everything she does…if there ever was any situation, she’s a great ear to have, you know?
