Aus Wikipedia. Nicht dargestellt. Auszug: Alexander Emmanuel "Alex" Rodriguez (born July 27, 1975) is an American Major League Baseball third baseman of Dominican parentage. Nicknamed "A-Rod", he currently plays third base for the New York Yankees of Major League Baseball. He previously played shortstop for the Seattle Mariners and the Texas Rangers. Rodriguez is considered one of the best all-around baseball players of all time. He is the youngest player ever to hit 500 home runs, breaking the record Jimmie Foxx set in 1939. In December 2007, Rodriguez and the Yankees agreed to a 10-year, $275 million contract. This contract was the richest contract in baseball history (breaking his previous record of $252 million). In February 2009, after previously denying use of performance-enhancing drugs, including during a 2007 interview with Katie Couric on 60 Minutes, Rodriguez admitted to using steroids, saying he used them from 2001 to 2003 due to what he called "an enormous amount of pressure" to perform. Rodriguez was born in the Washington Heights section of New York City to a Dominican family. When he was four, Rodriguez and his parents moved to the Dominican Republic, then to Miami, Florida. Rodriguez's favorite baseball players when he was growing up were Keith Hernandez, Dale Murphy, and Cal Ripken, and his favorite team was the New York Mets. Rodriguez was a star shortstop at Miami's Westminster Christian High School. In 100 games he batted .419 with 90 steals. Westminster went on to win the high school national championship in his junior year. He was first team prep All-American as a senior, hitting .505 with 9 home runs, 36 RBIs, and 35 steals in 35 tries in 33 games, and was selected as the USA Baseball Junior Player of the Year and as Gatorade's national baseball student athlete of the year. Rodriguez was the first high school player to ever try out for Team USA in 1993, and was regarded as the top prospect in the count...http://booksllc.net/?l=de ... Read more

Product Description
At the top of his game, professional athlete Scott Miller may be the catch of a lifetime, but can his new girlfriend, Alyssa Reid, handle the dating big leagues?

Working as a media relations correspondent for the Centers for Disease Control, Alyssa sees her name in print far too often for her own comfort.The last thing the bewitchingly witty, but self-conscious, blonde wants is more time in the spotlight.When she captures the affections of superstar New York Highlander third baseman Scott Miller, however, the inordinate amount of attention she garners from the media is the least of her concerns.Scott's ex-wife declares war, believing Alyssa is the reason her previously faithful husband filed for divorce, his kids somehow simultaneously adore and abhor their father's new flame, and Alyssa's flirtatious relationship with Scott's best friend raises more than a few eyebrows.Despite Scott being an all-around good guy with ineffable good looks, the incessant drama and innumerable lonely nights make Alyssa wonder if she also sold her soul the the devil when she sold her San Diego beach bungalow for a miniature Manhattan walk-up and a chance at happily ever after.

Just when she thinks she's learned how to balance it all, her world always threatening to wobble out of control, one weekend changes everything.Not only does the girl who can spin any story learn Scott is disturbingly close to an ex-girlfriend, she discovers Scott's friends and teammates are all equally as adept at spinning the truth when it comes time to cover for one of their own.Perhaps it's time to admit to herself what everyone has been telling her for months: she is out of her league. ...
