Alex Rodriguez Says HBO Doc Likely Ends His Hall of Fame Hopes

He casts his suspension as a turning point that led to therapy-driven change.

Overview

  • Alex vs. ARod, a three-part HBO series, debuted this week with new episodes airing Thursdays at 8 p.m. on HBO and streaming on Max.
  • On NBC’s Today, Rodriguez said he knew the rules, broke them, and now expects not to be elected to Cooperstown.
  • He described his season-long ban as a “gift” because it led him to work with the late therapist Dr. David Schnarch, whom he credits with saving his life.
  • A Star Tribune review says the film leans into a redemption arc, features largely supportive voices, and notes former commissioner Bud Selig declined to participate.
  • Despite a damaged Hall case, Rodriguez has rebuilt ties with MLB and now serves in an ambassadorial capacity.
