"He had a notebook filled with s**t" - Sports broadcaster Kevin Burkhardt recalls his experience hosting 'MLB on Fox' with Yankees legend Alex Rodriguez

Former New York Yankees legend Alex Rodriguez debuted as a full-time studio analyst for Fox Sports during the 2015 World Series and received a lot of praise.

For A-Rod, Oct. 19, 2015, at Fox Sports was as special as July 18, 1994, when he made his MLB debut. So Rodriguez made sure to do his homework and deliver an incredible performance like he used to pull off on the field. He was so fastidious with his preparation that he often arrived at the studio early, armed with copious notes.

Sportscaster Kevin Burkhardt, Rodriguez's co-host on "MLB on Fox," said:

"He wanted to know how the cameras work and all that stuff. I was blown away. He’s asking a million good questions about this and that."

Burkhardt highlighted his statement with what filled A-Rod's notebook.

"He had a notebook filled with shit," said Burkhardt.

Rodriguez made a smooth transition into broadcasting post MLB retirement.

In May 2017, Rodriguez joined an MLB broadcast on FS1 as a color commentator. On the day of his debut, he again brought a notebook, which again made headlines for all the wrong reasons.
