A-Rod Affair? New York Post Photo Shows Yankee Player with Mystery Blonde

New Yorkers and Yankee fans alike awoke this morning to the shocking cover story - accompanied by photo: Yankees player Alex Rodriguez (better known as A-Rod) is seen entering a Toronto strip club with a mystery blonde.

After losing a fifth straight game Tuesday night -- and falling 14½ games behind the Boston Red Sox in the American League East, this is the last thing the Yankees need right now.

Yankees owner George Steinbrenner has already voiced his displeasure with A-Rod this past week

Steinbrenner is less than enthusiastic over his player's comments to USA Today that he was "wrong for doing that stuff" were interpreted by some as an admission of steroid use.

"He should have kept his mouth shut," Steinbrenner said. "The matter is in the hands of the baseball commissioner."

The New York Yankees were listed with odds of 8 to 1 to win the 2007 World Series at press time at
Betmaker (see website here) and 6 to 1 to win the American League Pennant with odds falling fast. 

Betmaker.com publicized the Yankees latest odds to win the 2007 World Series at +1100 or $100 bet would pay out $1100.  They are +725 to win the American League pennant.

Yankee third baseman and all-star Alex Rodriguez apparently visiting a strip club in Toronto on Sunday night with an unidentified blonde woman. The headline dubbed the high-priced talent "Stray-Rod."

"The cozy duo dined with two pals at a pricey steakhouse late Sunday night," the Post reported, "then headed to a glitzy strip club before making their way to his hotel, where the pair ducked into an elevator and headed upstairs just after midnight."

Rodriguez and his guest stayed at the Four Seasons while most of his Yankees teammates and coaches were checked in down the road at the Park Hyatt, the Post reported.

Rodriguez, who went 0-3 in Tuesday night's loss to the Blue Jays, gave the Post a "no comment" when asked about his night out. A Yankees spokesman told the Post that Rodriguez never comments on his personal life.

The Yankees star is married to wife Cynthia, with whom he has a 2-year-old daughter, Natasha. His wife, who was photographed with Rodriguez in the 2004 Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, was nowhere to be seen during the Yankees' Toronto road trip, according to the Post.
