Alex Rodriguez Buying $6 Million Condo in New York, Perhaps With Free Popcorn Popper Thrown In

Every realtor in New York was fighting to get Alex Rodriguez to buy a condo, but the building that won A-Rod over was the Rushmore.

The luxury building on Riverside Boulevard in New York City has views of the Hudson River, and A-Rod’s 35th-floor apartment is said to cost between $5.5 million and $6 million, according to The Wall Street Journal.

According to the building’s development company, A-Rod “loved the building, the park and the water views, but we think that the clincher was the baseball field outside the front door.”

They may be saying that publicly, but it’s pretty clear that the Rushmore was willing to throw in a popcorn popper, something no other building in New York was willing to offer.

Something tells me that while Carl Crawford won’t be able to steal millions of bases against the Red Sox anymore, he’s OK with it.

“Carl, I’m sure you’re all excited about being with Boston, and your new contract. But is that excitement ‘tempered’ a bit…because you won’t be able to pad your statistics by stealing 1,382,872 bases against Boston this year …ya know…like you usually do ??”
