For the third time in three years, Alex Rodiguez is going to be summoned to the offices of Major League Baseball to explain himself. This time it’s about poker, specifically his possible participation in at least one illegal high-stakes poker game.
Baseball has been investigating whether A-Rod took part in an illegal game that involved actors Tobey Maguire, Leonardo DiCaprio, Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. (What, no Topher Grace? No Brad Pitt dispensing lessons? Seriously, this sounds like a scene from “Ocean’s 14.”)
Rodriguez is also accused of participating in a game at which cocaine was consumed by . . . someone. No one’s saying it was A-Rod. And what are the chances? Unless his cousin told him to suck some white powder up his nose, but neither of them knew what it was. That’s what we were led to believe when A-Rod faced steroids accusations: Neither of them knew what was in the bottle, but A-Rod let his cousin inject it in his behind.
