Alex Rodriguez knows that the media and fans are going to scrutinize his performance as he nears the career home run record. Rodriguez has been loosely linked to the steroid and HGH era by Jose Canseco and John Rocker.. They’re not the two strongest character witnesses, but rumors take on a life of their own. In an attempt to pick up some good karma down the road, A-Rod is going above and beyond for admitted HGH user and teammate Andy Pettitte.

“Andy is one of the greatest human beings I’ve ever met. I have two daughters — well, I have one and one on the way. If I had a daughter, I would want ‘em to marry Andy Pettitte. The age difference might be a little awkward, but in today’s day and age anything is possible.”

If there really is a such thing as karma, I doubt that offering your first born child’s hand in marriage to Andy Pettitte is what clears your slate.. A-Rod’s not known for his sense of humor, but he was kidding.. Right? I mean, I hope he’s kidding. Cause if not, 50 year old Andy Pettitte (still looking good due to HGH use) is gonna dump his wife to hook up with A-Rod’s 18 year old daughter.. That will take these two guys version of Yankees keeping it in the family to a new level.
