It's no secret Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez doesn't have many fans these days. He has some, especially in the Bronx, but the haters outnumber the fans substantially nowadays.
Given his recent suspension and other antics, it's easy to understand too, right? A-Rod has brought a lot of it on himself. One Yankees fan, a woman from New Jersey named Helen Fowler, hated A-Rod so much that she dissed him in her obituary.
Ms. Fowler passed away at age 85 late last month. Here is a piece of her obituary in the Newark Star Ledger:
Helen Fowler Devoted wife, mother, and grandmother, and lifelong Yankees fan Helen (Emanuel) Fowler, 85, passed away on Sept. 29, 2015, at the Chelsea in Fanwood, N.J. Born and raised in New Rochelle, N.Y., she was a resident of Cranford, N.J., for 53 years ... Mrs. Fowler was a former member of the Cranford First Aid Squad and a lifelong Yankees fan, with the exception of Alex Rodriguez.
Boy, getting ripped from beyond the grave is a new low, even for A-Rod. When people are calling you out in their obituaries, you've really done something to upset them. Geez.
Ms. Fowler is survived by her two children and five grandchildren. Our condolences go out to her family and to A-Rod for the extreme burn.
