Suzyn Waldman--AROD WAS SET UP

On Suzyn Waldman's pre-game report on Yankee radio a few minutes ago, she said the following (paraphrasing):

• We've stooped so low as a society that it's acceptable for a restaurant to supply an athlete car service and an evening at their restaurant with a twist. The restaurant hooked up with a photographer ahead of time to take pictures of the athlete which would then be sold to certain media. The profits from the sale of the pictures were then split between the photographer and the restaurant.

She was quite angry about what was an apparent set-up, though emphasized it's entirely Alex's business what he does in his personal life. I appreciate Suzyn's information on what did seem like a very neatly wrapped media package. Unfortunately, focusing on "society" as Suzyn does, will never alleviate the problem. That's much too large a target. The individuals responsible know this and knew they'd get away with it.

• (She and Sterling reference this again in the top of the first inning).
