Alex Rodriguez will likely have to wait until 2014 to learn the outcome of the grievance hearing into his 211-game suspension by Major League Baseball, but the New york Yankees slugger passed his own verdict on the performance of his legal team Thursday night.
But his elation with his lawyers was tempered somewhat by the realization that his fate now lies in the hands of arbitrator Fredric Horowitz.
He was not present for the final session, but he spent the day in Manhattan and said he was treated to a hero’s welcome as he walked the streets.
Meanwhile, Rodriguez’s attorneys expressed satisfaction with the way the hearing went.
