‘What’s your favorite Ben Affleck movie?’ ARod gets trolled at MLB playoffs, stays calm
Talk about rubbing salt in the wound.
Alex Rodriguez couldn’t catch a break Monday night, while covering the Boston Red Sox vs. Houston Astros game 3 of the American League Championship Series at Fenway Park in Boston as part of his gig with Fox Sports.
The former slugger got seriously trolled by Red Sox fans in the broadcasting booth, though he took it like a champ.
Videos shared on social media showed what went on behind the scenes, and it wasn’t pretty.
In one, you can hear people chanting “JLo! JLo!”
In another clip, a rowdy baseball fan screams, “What’s your favorite Ben Affleck movie?!”
“ARod! Ben Affleck’s got JLo! How do you like them apples?” the same guy yells from the peanut gallery.
But Rodriguez didn’t, um, bat an eye, and stayed laser focused.
The 46 year old father of two did manage to crack a joke at his expense earlier this month at the Tampa Bay Rays vs. Red Sox game.
When one of his colleagues remarked about how some players were eating popcorn in the dug-out, suddenly a throwback clip played of Rodriguez getting fed by then girlfriend Cameron Diaz at Super Bowl XLV.
ARod’s response: “That’s maybe why I’m single.”
Gossip watchers already know the deal: Lopez and Rodriguez initially split back in March, reconciled briefly, then called the whole thing off the next month.
The former Fly Girl, 52, was soon seen smooching on her old flame Ben Affleck, 49, and Bennifer 2.0 was born.
