Newspaper strikes out with Alex Rodriguez hitting on random blonde

Hot on the heels of the news that Alex Rodriguez and Kate Hudson broke up comes a story from the New York Daily News that the baseball star hit on a leggy blonde in a Miami restaurant while having lunch.

“Newly single Alex Rodriguez went down swinging – three times – while hitting on a blond in barely-there shorts,” cattily reports the paper.

According to the Daily News, while eating lunch at the restaurant Huston’s, A-Rod positioned himself next to a table of women, which included a “mystery woman” in “tiny shorts.”

“He started talking and laughing and joking with them almost immediately,” reads the article, which then claims the three-time MVP “must have hit on [the leggy blonde] three times, and three times she didn’t want anything to do with him.”

After the slugger supposedly struck out, he focused on his plate of grilled chicken.

The group of women and Rodriguez then left the restaurant at about the same time, writes the Daily News, which adds, “Rodriguez offered the ladies a smile, a wave and a ‘goodbye’ before walking out and jumping into his car.”

That’s a very fascinating story.

Now here’s what really happened.

Rodriguez was seated at a booth near the women, and it was the women “who engaged him in conversation,” says an insider, who assures Gossip Cop the Yankees star absolutely was not hitting on the blonde – or any of her friends.

The source also couldn’t believe that Rodriguez’s simply being polite to “gawking fans” could be so “completely misconstrued.” Says the source: “The last thing he was doing was making advances.”

Unfortunately, now that the baseball season is over – and Rodriguez and Hudson are over – Gossip Cop suspects there will be a slew of A-Rod “relationship” stories that are filled with errors.

    Like his relationship with Kate was gonna really last!

  • Lib

    He must be REALLY concerned about his image as this big hotshot player, if he’s so eager to rewrite this little non-item. How pathetic.

  • Sam

    Feels like any blond within a three mile radius will be linked to him. Sad.

  • Saras

    Sam- Was at an all-star game party with a girlfriend the summer before last, and you should have seen the women trying to throw themselves at ARod, standing outside the VIP area, trying to get his attention. (He was dating Madonna at the time.) Sooooo funny and pathetic. There were other guys there, too, like Reggie Jackson. Even he had women coming up to him — crazy!

    funny how women post event are always cast as the victims when in reality women will stab each other in the back to get to a guy like him. ive worked in hospitality for well over 10 years and hairdressing for 5 years so ive had the inside word from women(female hairdressers get to hear it all). sure no shortage of sleazy men out there but the predatory women who chase money and fame in which ever man it happens to be in is just a disgrace to all women.
    ive been mistaken for a bit of a celeb on many occasions before and expereinced a bit of the pathetic lurid blood sucking behaviour from women also.
