Alex Rodriguez asks the hard-hitting questions, just ask Eduardo Nunez.
After the Boston Red Sox defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 5-1 in Game 5 of the World Series on Sunday to clinch the title, Nunez went on the FOX set for an interview with Rodriguez, David Ortiz and the gang.
But if you thought A-Rod was going to ask about Nunez’s emotions after winning a championship, you are sorely mistaken.
The New York Yankees legend opened the interview by asking Nunez the question everyone had on their mind: what’s the deal with all the falling?

Fair question.
Nunez, who has suffered a slew of injuries this season, sacrificed his body on multiple occasions in Boston’s 18-inning Game 3 loss to the Dodgers. In fact, it seemed like every time Nunez’s name was mentioned he was getting looked at by the trainer after taking a spill.
The Red Sox lost that game, but they rebounded in Game 4 and rolled over LA in Game 5 to clinch their fourth title since 2004.
