Alex Rodriguez is making headlines once again. The former Yankees shortstop gave an amazing twenty-two seasons to MLB and retired in 2016. Fast forward seven years later, and A-Rod is still heavily talked about. With his baseball career over, Rodriguez has put time and energy into his various business ventures. From the investment firm A-Rod Corp to ownership of the NBA team Minnesota Timberwolves, life has kept the former shortstop busy.

Now, the 47-year-old has decided to write a book about it. Have no doubt, Rodriguez has had an interesting and media-worthy life that anyone would love to read about, baseball fan or not. But what was truly hilarious was the way A-Rod decided to announce the news. And fans being fans had a field day making memes and poking fun at the retired athlete to the fullest.

Twitter mocks Alex Rodriguez for his book announcement post

Ask any author, writing a book is a heavily daunting task. The commitment, the long hours, the dedication – not everyone can pull it off. But Alex Rodriguez just might.

The former Yankee announced his intentions on his Instagram story, sharing a blank sheet of paper with the title ‘Book’, captioning it “Decided to start writing my book on lessons learned in business and baseball.” Soaking in the sun, the sheet was propped up on Rodriguez’s legs, which made people think he wasn’t wearing anything underneath.

Of course, the most popular tweets were about A-Rod being compared to the popular sitcom character Michael Scott from The Office. The two don’t have much in common, but the manager of Dunder Mifflin Paper Company was a famous slouch when it came to working. Scott’s unpublished book was a running joke throughout the series and people think the same might happen to Rodriguez.

A-Rod is no sloth when it comes to work

For someone who is as successful as Rodriguez, there’s no doubt that hard work is what’s at play. Individual skills, talent, luck – all these things will only take a person so far. To achieve the millionaire status the former Yankee enjoys today, blood, sweat, and tears are mandatory requirements.
