Ass Hat: A-Rod

This one's kinda old news, but I couldn't pass it up. Plus...my Ass Hat Guy has been on vacation the past month. Some people just don't have any sense of priorities :)

In a game last month against the Toronto Blue Jays, while running the bases on a pop-fly in the infield, A-Rod tried to distract 3B Howie Clark by yelling "Mine!!!" as he passed him. Clark thought he was getting called off by the SS, and the ball dropped in the INF.

After the game, A-Rod told reporters that he was influenced by his former Little League team, who used to chant "Hey Batter-Batter-Batter, Swing Batter" when they were in the field.

When told that other MLB players typically frown upon this type of "childish" behavior, A-Rod was defensive and replied:

"Liar Liar, Pants on Fire."
