Per an old video of Vanity Fair, Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez revealed people do not call them by their real names. They prefer to call them by their short names, such as Jlo and A-Rod. However, in A-Rod’s case, people call him by different names in Boston and New York.

Despite all these facts, there is another reason why the Boston Red Sox fans do not like Alex Rodriguez. Per NJ.com, A-Rod was about to sign for the Red Sox in the 2004 season. But because of some paperwork, the MLB Players Association did not approve the deal. And that is where the New York Yankees came into the scene and signed him on a long-term contract.
