Alex Rodriguez was nearly a household name in the late 90s and early 2000s, capturing MLB’s fanbase with his outstanding play. An integral part of the conversation over the decades, he has undoubtedly picked up some movie references, and he is using them to the best of his abilities. Here, replicating a scene from the courtroom drama ‘A Few Good Men’, A-Rod attempted his best Tom Cruise impression by quoting a line from the movie.

Alex ‘A-Rod’ Rodriguez quotes dialogue from ‘A Few Good Men’

With Tom Cruise and Jack Nicholson headlining the courtroom drama released in 1992, the movie had some iconic lines of dialogue. And while its single most quoted dialogue remains Jack Nicholson’s, “You can’t handle the truth!”, the movie showed more quality than several others. And A-Rod remembered just the right bits to make the most of it.

When Tom Cruise’s character is stuck thinking about his case in a situation in the movie, he asks all in the room for his baseball bat. Simply because he thinks it’s better with it in his hands. And A-Rod saw an almost seamless takeover of that dialogue. Posting a story to his Instagram, A-Rod wrote“I think better with my bat…”
