Why Yankee Fans Boo A-Rod

Benjamin Kabak explains why he thinks A-Rod gets booed by Yankee fans. I agree with what Benjamin writes but would also add two more reasons:

1. A-Rod is the king of phony. Everything he says seems parsed and weighed to determine how it would affect A-Rod's commercial image. Remember the "controversy" over if and where A-Rod would play in the World Baseball Classic? Remember how he was found playing cards in a NYC card room and instead of saying "big deal its only a $5 table" he made all sorts of mea culpas. Nobody likes a phony.

2. His fielding. Right now A-Rod leads AL 3rd baseman in errors with 11. He was supposed to be a gold glove caliber player and he leads the league in errors? And many of those errors came at the worst possible time.

People in general boo A-Rod because of cumulative reasons and I don't see A-Rod changing enough any time soon to stop the boos. He may be a great player but he's not likeable.
