NEW YORK — Everywhere Alex Rodriguez looks these days, he's the butt of a joke... even in his team's home town.
The Yankees slugger, who admitted to taking steroids on Monday, was the center of that same evening's Top Ten list on the "Late Show with David Letterman."
10. "Hey, it's Mark McGwire. Want to get together this week and not talk about the past?"
9. "Joe Torre here – thanks for helping book sales."
8. "Could you find a steroid that keeps you from choking in the playoffs?"
7. "Are you worried that this will taint all the championships you didn't win?"
6. "Hi, it's Bernie Madoff. Nice try, but I'm still the most hated man in New York."
5. "Michael Phelps here. Got any snacks?"
4. "Hi, this is Sammy Sosa. Just pretend you don't speak English."
3. "Michael Phelps again. Did I call you or did you call me?"
2. "Hey, it's Rod Blagojevich – I'll say you're innocent, if you say I am."
1. "It's Madonna. You got a phone number for (Derek) Jeter ?"
Sports Illustrated broke the news over the weekend that Rodriguez was on a list of 104 Major League Baseball players who tested positive for steroids in 2003. Rodriguez was a member of the Texas Rangers at the time, hitting an AL-leading 43 home runs en route to winning the MVP award that season.
