“I made mistakes, I doubled down and as a result of that, I served the longest suspension in Major League Baseball history for PED use,” Rodriguez told Patrick. “That just literally took me to my knees in tears and said, ‘Oh my god, I just completely [expletive] up my entire life.’”

“I had tears coming out of my eyes, and I went down to my knees and just like, ‘Oh my god, it’s over. What have I done to myself?’ And at that point, I was still kind of in denial. … That was the entire problem. All of it. The answer was yes, it was my fault in every way. And that’s what I’ve learned. …

“For three weeks, I basically didn’t leave the house. Couple weeks, I was just so sad. I didn’t see my daughters. I was sick to my stomach. I would wake up in the middle of the night in tears going like, ‘I’m the only jackass that had pocket aces that finds a way to lose his [expletive] hand.’ Just so painful.”

A-Rod’s done alright for himself since his lowest point.  He’s rehabbed his imaged, landed an MLB analyst gig and a pop singer fiancee.  He’s lived a decent life up to this point.
