Greeted by boos each time he stepped up to the plate, controversial slugger Alex Rodriguez homered in his second at-bat of the spring for the New York Yankees.
The superstar third baseman, who earlier admitted to the use of steroids from 2001 to '03, walked in his first at-bat in a 6-1 exhibition win over the Toronto Blue Jays . A large contingent of Yankees fans helped ease some of the boos directed at him by the crowd at Dunedin Stadium, but plenty of potshots were still easily heard.
"What did you have for breakfast, A-Roid?" was among the more creative.
He came up again in the fourth to a similar reaction but this time hammered a 2-2 offering from 2005 first-round pick Ricky Romero over the wall in left to give the Yankees a 3-1 lead. He finished the game with a homer and two walks.
