It’s been approximately three weeks since David Ortiz got his Hall of Fame induction in Major League Baseball. But the debate over Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens not getting the same is still raging. Apart from Bonds and Clemens, Alex “A-Rod” Rodriguez also didn’t get the Hall of Fame induction.

Recently, an old video of him has been doing the rounds about his point of view on the Hall of Fame. “A-Rod” opened up about his case to be inducted in the Hall of Fame.

When asked for his comment on the Hall of Fame, “A-Rod” described it as a polarizing subject, and said he would love to get in the Hall of Fame.

“It’s a polarizing subject. You can’t run away from it. I’ve taken the approach that I think talking about it is best and look, I make no surprises or secret. I’ve made my mistakes and have paid huge penalties. I would love to get in, but I understand that if I don’t make it to the Hall of Fame, I can live with that… I cannot believe I put myself in that situation (of not getting into the Hall of Fame). But if that happens, I’ve no one to blame but myself,” said Rodriguez.
