A-Rod is a Michigan Dad
We can add Alex Rodriguez to the list of celebrity Michigan parents, joining the likes of Madonna, Kelly Ripa and the Obamas. He dropped his daughter Natasha off in Ann Arbor last week, where she's beginning her freshman year.
His pal Derek Jeter can no doubt show him around campus.

Obama's daughter transferred to USC. There's a joke in there somewhere, but no politics!

From Chicago, figures she'd stay in Big Ten country
August 30th, 2023 at 11:24 PM ^
Blame it on the transfer portal!

Sasha wanted to hang out with Aunt Becky's daughter!

I can see the shape of a Lori Laughlin rowing joke, but can't figure out how to get it from set-up to punchline.

That’s what college freshmen look like? I’m so damn old…She looks young enough to be a freshman in high school.
August 30th, 2023 at 11:38 PM ^
Until recently she was

A Rod was a Michigan commit.

If you look closely you can still see Jason Varitek’s catchers mitt on his face.

Ahem. Alex and Derek were never really, what one would call, close. 😉

They actually were, but not late in their careers. There was an interview they both did at the same time at a fundraiser about 10-15 years ago. They clearly were not friendly then. However, to my surprise it was Jeter acting really petty and childish, and A-Rod just trying to get through it professionally.

Alex and Madonna are familiar with each other, too.

That's a pretty basic and pedestrian Michigan shirt for someone of his stature. Brian and Seth need to hook him up with something from the MGoStore.

I bet that watch is anything but standard and pedestrian.

Are you going radio silent on the betting thread. DB whats up?? ;-)

Welcome, young lady! Go BLUE!

Can you imagine moving your kid in and suddenly he walks into the dorm room and introduces himself as the father of your daughter's roommate?
August 31st, 2023 at 8:53 AM ^
“Well…. It was nice to meet you, Mr. A-Rod.”
August 31st, 2023 at 8:38 AM ^
Pretty cool that she’s in a dorm room and able to experience that part of college life!
August 31st, 2023 at 9:36 AM ^
Sasha clearly downgraded, but hey, we never know why young people make the choices they do. Heck, I know I can say that about myself for darn sure (but not when it comes to school[s] choice!).
Congrats to Natasha! Best four years of your life on deck.

Goddammit, I just remembered how George Steinbrenner stole Drew Henson from us.
August 31st, 2023 at 11:19 AM ^
Also, it sounds like she's going to be in the Musical Theatre program, of which Michigan is truly the Leader and Best.
Congrats to her!
August 31st, 2023 at 12:17 PM ^
If true that's impressive. That's a damn hard program to get into.
August 31st, 2023 at 2:19 PM ^
Derek Jeter will show her around campus, not him.
August 31st, 2023 at 2:51 PM ^
You and I know, it's gonna be Michigan again... Michigan!
