Kudos to Alex Rodriguez for finally coming through in a pinch, when he is expected to on Saturday afternoon, when he hit a walk off, game winning, grand slam home run against Baltimore Orioles closer Chris Ray. This is exactly the kind of performance that Yankee fans want to see from our 3rd baseman, and exactly what I was advocating for last week.To be able to come up to bat, late in the game when the Bombers are behind or tied and have him come through (be clutch) to get on base or drive in the winning runs. He only needs to do this say 4 out of ten times, or 8 times over the course of 20 chances over the entire season. If he does that, then the fans will cheer and give him the respect he so often craves. My perception is he only succeeds in these situations about 1 in 10 times. I will attempt to keep track as the season progresses. Right now, he is 1 for 2.
Finally, I hope he stays in NY, because quite frankly there is no alternate solution for the hot corner.

Maybe ARod is finally redeeming himself, yes! After all the money thrown his way. BTW: I'm a Red Sox fan but have always been in awe of the New York Yankees! ;-)
