Rodriguez’s car broken into
Alex Rodriguez had half a million dollars’ worth of stuff stolen from his rental car while he was in San Francisco broadcasting a Giants-Phillies game.
Law enforcement said the MLB legend — who was in town for his ESPN gig as a baseball colour commentator — had his rented SUV broken into just a few blocks from Oracle Park on Sunday.
The burglary happened around 10pm . . . and the thieves made off with $500 000 worth of electronics and jewellery.
Rodriguez had been at the stadium nearly the entire day . . . he and his ESPN crew called the Giants’ 9-6 win over Philadelphia on “Sunday Night Baseball”.
A rep for A-Rod tells TMZ . . . “The financial value of the items stolen from Alex Rodriguez’s vehicle while he was hav-ing dinner is being grossly exaggerated.” — TMZ Sports.
