Emotion

I just watched A-Rod's opening statement again, because something happened at the end that I didn't quite get at first. At the end, he said that baseball is bigger than he is, then he looked toward his teammates and said, "To my teammates," followed by a very long pause in which he looked like he was trying to contain his emotions, followed by a, "Thank you," directed at his teammates. He looked like he came close to breaking down at that point.

I think that despite everything, Alex Rodriguez really wants to be liked. He doesn't really have a clue as to how to go about being liked- for instance, he probably figured that people would like him because he had the biggest contract of all time. He was probably touched that so many of his teammates were there, even if a lot of them were just appearing for show.
