ARod is like Bonds. They are guys that put up historic numbers. Otherwise I don't see people getting teary eyed and nostalgic about them. For the Yankees those fans have Jeter and Rivera for that era. I don't think he really has a team that considers him "their" guy.

I can see that.
I'm a Red Sox fan, and while I disliked the hype over Jeter on occasion he and Rivera were hard to dislike (unless they were beating the Sox then it was easy
) Arod wasn't really a player I liked. When everyone was upset about the deal to bring him to Boston getting cancelled, I was quite happy. Great numbers, but always seemed to make the teams he went to worse.
