According to a Daily News (New York City) report, the Yankees told Alex Rodriguez that playing poker in illegal clubs could hurt his image. That paper previously reported that A-Rod attended games at an underground club with pro poker player Phil Hellmuth. A-Rod's agent denies all of this.

Maybe the Yankees would actually win another World Series if A-Rod forgot about all this card-playing nonsense and concentrated more about baseball. Sure, everyone needs a diversion from work. But, A-Rod has clearly not done the job the Yanks hired him to do.
