The Alex Rodriguez Center For Children Who Can’t Read Good And Wanna Learn To Do Other Stuff Good Too

By Joseph Pawlikowski

Alex Rodriguez isn’t shy about his association with the Southwest Miami Boys & Girls Club — he has a field there named after him. And now he’ll have the $1.5 million Alex Rodriguez Education Center, which projects to open in April. “It will include a state-of-the-art computer laboratory, an area for Internet use, classrooms for homework study and a huge teen center, where the older kids can meet.” A-Rod himself kicked in a third of the overall costs.

Say what you will about his character and his intentions, but nothing bad can be strewn from this. Helping underprivileged kids is one of the most noble things someone can do, no matter if their intention is to enhance their image, or if it’s true altruism.

I hope the center is at least three times the size.

Joseph P. says:

What is this? A center for ants? How are kids supposed to learn how to read if they can’t even fit inside the building?
