Disgraced New York Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez has met with the New York Yankees and apologized "for his actions over the past several years," according to a joint statement cited by local media. A-Rod was suspended without pay for the entire 2014 season for his alleged use of performance-enhancing drugs. Initially suspended for 211 games midway through the 2013 season, he appealed and fought the league, the team and player's union, and then filed a number of lawsuits, which he later dropped. The suspension was ultimately reduced to 162 games, or the length of a complete baseball season. According to the New York Daily News, the Yankees told Rodriguez that his behavior was “entirely inappropriate throughout the summer of 2013” and warned that it would not be forgotten. The Yankees also asked him to address the media before pitchers and catchers report for spring training on Feb.
