Is Alex Rodriguez A Villain? He Doesn't Think So [AUDIO]

With Alex Rodriguez playing baseball again and with the Yankees being at Comerica Park for the week, you would think it's only a matter of time before you run across the disgraced New York slugger.  Rodriguez has been booed everywhere he's played this season, including in the Bronx and Detroit hasn't been any different.

There's no way around it, after being suspended for the entire 2014 season for his involvement in Major League Baseball's Biogenius scandal, A-Rod has become public enemy number one; the biggest active villain in the game today.

Rodriguez spoke to reporters Wednesday afternoon where a litany of topics were discussed.  From being close to 660 homers to learning his new team, A-Rod seemed relaxed answering questions from the comfort of his locker stall.

About midway through the media session I asked Rodriguez how he feels about being the villain of Major League baseball. Did he agree?  Do boos affect him?  Does he relish being baseball's bad guy?  Take a listen to the audio below and decide for yourself.
