Alex Rodriguez was, born in New York City in 1975.  Alex Rodriguez made his major league debut with the Seattle Mariners at age 18, playing shortstop. He later played for the Texas Rangers and New York Yankees, and in 2007 became the youngest player to hit 500 career home runs. His career faltered after his 2009 admission that he had used performance-enhancing drugs from 2001 to 2003, but he went on to help the Yankees win the 2009 World Series.

Makings of a Legend

Kobe Bryant can easily win the debate in the favor of whether he is a legend or not. From his number of championships learned to his multiple achievements, he defines a modern day legend. His demeanor and swagger all fits very well with his accomplishments. But a legend doesn't cease here........

Casual Baseball

Picking out game day attire for a baseball game is super easy. During baseball season you have to consider the transition from the cold to the warm weather so dressing for comfort is the key. Dont dress for a windy day and it is very humid outside. Baseball is a casual sport so no one's going to be worried about what you have on, although wearing anything is not an option. Be ready with these choices.

Simply Soccer

Like baseball, soccer is during a weird time. It is a spring sport but the weather isn't exactly warm. There will be days were there might be a chill in the air, or an extra beam of sunlight. Less is more sometimes; no heels or make-up needed. Simple is the best way to go. Something similar to the looks below will have you looking fabulous on any game day.


 

LAKERS ON THE RISE

LOS ANGELES -- Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers really think they're on to something, even if it's nothing revolutionary. They're gaining confidence in their newfound attitude and approach with each victory they're producing.

Not even a fantastic fourth-quarter rally by the New Orleans Hornets could shake Kobe's conviction that the Lakers have finally figured out a few things about their puzzling season. Dwight Howard scored 24 and 11 assists in another pass-first performance, and the Lakers hung on to beat New Orleans 111-106 on Tuesday night for their first three-game winning streak in five weeks.
Earl Clark had 20 points and 12 rebounds for the Lakers (20-25), who jumped to an 18-point lead midway through the fourth quarter with their third consecutive game of patient passing and hard-nosed defense quarterbacked by Bryant. The fifth-leading scorer in NBA history has warmly embraced his new role as a playmaker -- no surprise for somebody whose first basketball muse was Magic Johnson.
"It's working pretty well," said Bryant, whose 39 assists in the Lakers' past three games are the biggest three-game total of his 17-season career. "It's very easy for me to look over the defense and know where they're coming from, just kind of line my guys up in the right way and just pick them apart."
With Bryant running the show, the Lakers even survived a frenetic finish. Their lead dwindled to 102-101 with two minutes left shortly after an electric 16-2 run in a 2½-minute stretch by the Hornets, but Clark hit a layup and Steve Nash calmly buried a 3-pointer with 1:21 left to clinch Los Angeles' ninth consecutive victory against New Orleans.
Nash had 12 points and five assists, while Antawn Jamison scored 16 points. Four-time All-Star Pau Gasol had seven points, seven rebounds and seven assists as a reserve in the Lakers' final home game before a seven-game trip, their longest of the season, while the Grammy Awards take over Staples Center.
The trip should be daunting for the Lakers, who have lost 15 of 20 on the road this season, including seven straight since Christmas. Instead, they're optimistic about trying out their new approach in a hostile environment.
"We're doing a good job of not being selfish, and of doing whatever we can to help our team win," Howard said. "Things are clicking for us. Our offense is a lot smoother, and on defense we're really holding each other accountable."
Sounds simple -- but the Lakers have rarely looked this good in their complex season.

Fashion Don'ts on Game Day

1. Don’t wear heels that are over three inches. You don’t want to fall in front of thousands of people during half-time.

2. It’s not a club, don’t wear halter tops or short skirts

3. Going with a jersey? Wear one that fits. If it’s over sized and knee length, it’ll look like an oversized night gown.

jeans for comfort, heels for kick.

REMEMBER: Jeans for comfort, heels for kick.

Ray Lewis so happy to go to the Super Bowl that he is supposedly connected to a banned substance? Of course he tested negative, and dismisses the SI report alleging he was given banned substances to help heal torn triceps. Do we not believe in hard work and natural talent anymore? Banned substances is what we have come down to? Maybe time has caught up with you Ray. You age faster when you play football for a living my friend.

Messi Stats

In the 2012-2013 season Messi played in 21 games, make 33 goals of 111 shots, and had 8 assists. 

Strengths: His ball skills are second to none, his runs from midfield are usually lethal and he is almost impossible to tackle when he gets his head down. His balance and speed while running is incredible.

Weaknesses: Not a team player.
 Career high: Winning the 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 World Player of the Year awards - the latter coming after he broke the record for goals in a calender year.
Career low: He was unable to perform to his best in the 2006 World Cup in Germany, where Argentina were eliminated in the quarter-finals with Messi looking on from the bench.  Style: Quick, incisive, balanced, a stylish runner with the ball.
Quotes: "Messi is my Maradona," said Maradona himself, as the head coach of the Argentine national team.

Trivia: His debut with the national team (against Hungary) was a disaster: he entered the game in the 18th minute of the second half, and 47 seconds later was sent off.

What to Wear (Football)

Picking out that perfect game day outfit can be tricky, especially if sports is not your forte. Don't fret, I'm hear to help you figure it out. Being that each sport is different; your attire has to match that particular setting. Being stylish is not a crime so even though most people at the football game will have their face painted, with jeans and a t-shirt on, doesn't mean you have to fall into this trend. Simple and cute is the objective and I have a few looks below that would be perfect to wear to any football game.
