Alex Rodriguez is many things. He was an excellent ball player who made a few mistakes. And he also paid a huge price for those mistakes. But still, he has no regrets. Notably, MLB convicted him of using steroids while playing baseball as a youth.
He also faced an entire season suspension for drinking PED. If he hadn’t faced the suspension, the former New York Yankees slugger would be in the same company as Derek Jeter, Mickey Mantle, Babe Ruth and a few other Yankees.

As mentioned before, A-Rod has no regrets. He even admitted that the suspension from MLB was probably a good thing for him. It changed A-Rod as a person. Later, in 2017, while in a relationship with Jennifer Lopez, A-Rod opened up about his past. And interestingly, he also shared something that even his then-fiancée Lopez didn’t know about.
MLB suspension gave Alex Rodriguez countless sleepless nights
According to an exclusive interview with Variety.com, Alex Rodriguez admitted to having spent several sleepless nights because of the suspension of the PED. And in doing so, he also shared the dark truth with Jennifer that he would start crying in the middle of the night.
“I remember thinking one night…I don’t know if I told you that, baby [he says to Lopez]… In the midst of this madness, I remember it was three in the morning, four in the morning, and like many nights, I couldn’t sleep. I am not a crier, but I bawl…”, Alex Rodriguez confessed.
“My pillows are now soaked, and it’s the middle of the night, and I think I’m the only asshole who has pocket aces and finds a way to lose the hand. I was so mad at myself -even, so pissed off, it was hard to breathe.
