Alex was as American as they come growing up! In fact he was an excellent quarterback for the varsity football team at Westminster Christian High School in Miami until he gave the sport up after his 10th grade year.

Wrong

Alex is Dominican, even if he wasn't born there, his blood is Dominican, right or wrong. Por ejemplo, (e.g.) Italians call themselves Italian even if they are born inthe US. Unless he's mixed with something else, which he is not. IMO


Alex Rodriguez is not Dominican ! he's latino he had a chance to play for this country in the world baseball classic but chose instead to play for his country the USA and there is nothing wrong with that but it is what it is

End of Story

This isn't a discussion about baseball or what country should claim this hunk. :knockedou

It's about his looks and nothing else ;)

If he is from Dominican heritage well that's great, this makes it DR related right.

I will be cleaning this up in a few minutes so don't come complaining to me that your post is gone.

And yes I have Sicilian blood in my veins so watch out :laugh:

are you holding a grudge???............ he's Latino? yes of Dominican descent. He can definitly say he's Dominican, so people can understand he's background, ok end of story.

so Anna, do you say you are part Italian, when asked what is your background? I hear it all the time people say they are a 1/4 of this 1/2 of that. The world is a beautiful Melting Pot.

A.Rod is Dominican hottie.

btw: two people voted Ugly - hahaha you are just jealous.

Arod is a Dominican-American.

His blood is 100% Dominican "blend", which explains why he can claim his Dominican citizenship by simply going to his closest Dominican consulate, presenting proof that at least one of his parents were born in the DR and voila, sign a few papers and by law he's a real Dominican.

Biologically = 100% Dominican from father and mother.

Culturally = a blend of Dominican and American.

Politically = American with the option to acquire his Dominican citizenship by merely proving at a Dominican consulate that he has Dominican blood (How many non-Dominicans can do that without having to do all the steps required for truly non-Dominicans in order to be granted Dominican citizenship?).

He's Dominican in everything except culture, which is a blend of Dominican and American. Thus, he's more Dominican than American and let's leave it at that!

Any other comments about this beyond this post should be erased.

Mira pa ca' NALs......

Any way you can start a poll with these candidated:

David Ortiz, Julian Tavarez, Vlad Guerrero, Manny Ramirez and Alfonso Soriano (among other "good looking" Dominicans.

The only reason I ask is because I would LOOOOVE to see how they are rated by the 2 who voted that A-Rod is ugly, whahahahahaha!!.

Talk about negative 50, hahaha!!.

Come on, Manny is cute in his own way...he is actually cute if you take a good close look at his face:cheeky: If he would tuck in his shirt and wear tighter pants like A Rod then we would be talking... It should be illegal to wear baseball uniforms so loose like that!!!;)

If you have any suggestions on polls you'd like, please send a private message to Nals.

This one happens to be about Arod and no one else ;)

Thanks
