A-Rod demanded food, toothbrush be prepared

New book: A-Rod demanded food, toothbrush be prepared; Yankees teammates viewed him as phony

Alex Rodriguez was an insecure prima donna who made a clubhouse attendant load his toothbrush with toothpaste after every game in his three seasons with the Texas Rangers, a new book charges.

The Rangers were also required to send a basket of food to the controversial All-Star's hotel suite during road trips, Sports Illustrated columnist Selena Roberts reports in "A-Rod."

Many Texas teammates kept their distance from A-Rod, who they saw as a spoiled superstar. His relationship with other players didn't improve when Rodriguez joined the Yankees in 2004.

His Bomber teammates regarded A-Rod as a phony and a hypocrite because he tried to project an All-American public image while pursuing a swinger's lifestyle.

During a series in Texas, Roberts writes, A-Rod went to a sex club while his wife, Cynthia, pregnant with their first child, was at home in New York.

Rodriguez also turned off teammates by bragging about wild nights with strippers - and by making clumsy passes at other players' wives and girlfriends.

I pity the poor attendant. I wonder if A-Rod tipped him, or something.

But these tell-all books, written after someone is gone or is down...are they worth much?

A-Roid is still in a 10-year, $275 million contract.  I think he's in the second year of it.

Yes, true. I meant he was not in Texas any more.
