Alex Rodriguez hilariously calls out ‘terrible’ Yankees-Astros moment
Francisco Lindor reminded Alex Rodriguez of a painful Yankees memory
Ahead of Game 5 of the NLCS, New York Mets star Francisco Lindor sat down with MLB legend Alex Rodriguez. However, “A-Rod” may not have expected a rough trip down memory lane.
Lindor brought up the New York Yankees’ heartbreaking 2019 ALCS loss to the Houston Astros, via FOX Sports.
“You remember watching [Jose] Altuve hit a home run off [Aroldis Chapman] to go to the World Series?” Lindor asked.
“That was a terrible moment,” Rodriguez responded, sharing a laugh with Lindor. Rodriguez had been long retired by 2019, but his Yankees fandom knows no bounds.
“I’m like man, this guy is so in control of the moment,” Lindor continued. But I never quite understood it, because I’m always showing emotion, I’m always jumping, I’m always celebrating I’m always smiling. I’m full of joy, full of excitement, but as I get to first base, I’m like ‘let’s finish the job.’”
Down 3-1 to the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Mets will have to win three straight games starting on Friday to reach the World Series. New York has gone on an inspiring run since making the playoffs on the last day of the regular season, but there’s no use in celebrating before winning the championship.
