A-Roid Field Still a Go

Posted Feb 11th 2009 8:00AM by TMZ Staff

A-RoidIt's simple math, really -- $3.9 million is greater than a tarnished legacy.

Everything is still on for Friday's ceremony at the University of Miami to name the new baseball field Alex Rodriguez Field. Lying Liar Field was apparently too cumbersome.

Although A-Roid didn't actually go to UM, he has been close to the program and the entire Miami community and donated $3.9 mil back in 2002. A rep for the school tells us "We are moving forward with the event. The donation was announced at a press conference on Oct. 10, 2002."

In this economy, nobody is about to give back money based on principle.

19. Not only is this guy a cheat he is anti American.

He was born here, raised here, got rich here...yet he is playing for the DR instead of the USA for that World Baseball Classic...can you believe it? That means to me the rest of those DR's on the team are dirty too---all of them if they are that tight with A-Roid for him to play with that Country and not the USA.

And a USA College honors him? Well that University is dirty too.
