Leaving the Yankees performance aside, A-Rod’s personal life has also become a talking point on the internet. Earlier this month, A-Rod’s ex-fiancee, Jennifer Lopez, got engaged to Hollywood superstar Ben Affleck.

Notably, A-Rod and Lopez have dated each other for over four years. But things did not work between the two of them, and later they called it off. However, A-Rod already seems to be moved on from his past with Lopez, but the Yankees vs Red Sox rivalry will not let him move on so quickly.

He added, “But I will not wear a Yankees hat. I just cannot. I cannot wear it because it’s going to become a thing.”
