Alex Rodriguez Responds to Ex-Teammate's Harsh Comments with Class.
Former MLB star Alex Rodriguez was "shocked and surprised" after former high school and New York Yankees teammate Doug Mientkiewicz made some negative comments about him in a recent podcast. Mientkiewicz said that Rodriguez does acknowledge him but only "in a certain setting" and that for the most part Rodriguez has just distanced himself from his high school teammates. Those comments did not seem to bother Rodriguez, although the 14-time All-Star did tell USA Today that he was "shocked and surprised" and thought the comments were "strange, because I always considered Doug a friend."
