As ex-players go, A-Rod is actually pretty good in the booth. I've lived through Joe Morgan up there, and, while he's probably a very nice guy, Rick Sutcliffe is so boring he could take the excitement out of an orgasm.
But if you cannot handle the man out of pinstripes, I suggest doing what all Celtics' fans did in the 1970's and 1980's. Turn off the TV volume and turn up the radio...
