A-Rod Sheds Choke-Artist Rep

Onetime postseason washout comes through in, yes, the clutch

(NEWSER) - For years, the rap on Alex Rodriguez has been that despite his gaudy regular-season stats, he folded in the playoffs.

(NEWSER) - Alex Rodriguez and Kate Hudson are "totally over," sources tell Hollywood Life .

New Yorkers Flock to Cheer Yankees

'Canyon of Heroes' echoes with cheers for champs

(NEWSER) - New Yorkers turned out in droves today to cheer the World Series champion Yankees as a ticker-tape parade made its way through the canyons of Lower Manhattan. Manager Joe Girardi received a key to the city at a City Hall ceremony, Series MVP Hideki Matsui thanked the fans over and over—in English—and Jay-Z joined Alex Rodriguez on a float. "I've never seen so many people collected in one place," said A-Rod, who won his first title in his 15th big-league season. "I've waited a long time for this." More»
