Selena Roberts (born May 16, 1966) is an American author and sportswriter. She was a senior writer for Sports Illustrated and a columnist for The New York Times. Roberts was a beat writer for the Minnesota Vikings at the Minneapolis Star Tribune and for the Orlando Magic and Tampa Bay Buccaneers at the Orlando Sentinel. She received a B.A. degree in journalism from Auburn University in 1988 where she was a sports editor for the university paper The Plainsman. In a 2009 article on SIdotcom that quickly made the cover of Sports Illustrated, Roberts revealed that Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez tested positive for steroids in 2003. Roberts' book, A-Rod: The Many Lives of Alex Rodriguez, was released in 2009. The biography links the slugger's tabloid-like fame and use of performance-enhancing drugs with an unquenchable desire for attention. The book reported that Rodriguez used performance-enhancing drugs in high school and delved into reports that Rodriguez used PEDs with the New York Yankees and tipped pitches to opposing players. The book received widespread media attention. Alexander Emmanuel Rodriguez (born July 27, 1975), nicknamed "A-Rod", is an American former professional baseball shortstop and third baseman. He played 22 seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Seattle Mariners, Texas Rangers, and New York Yankees. Rodriguez began his professional career as one of the sport's most highly touted prospects and is considered one of the greatest baseball players of all time. Rodriguez amassed a .295 batting average, 696 home runs, over 2,000 runs batted in (RBI), over 2,000 runs scored, and over 3,000 hits. He is a 14-time All-Star and won three American League (AL) Most Valuable Player (MVP) Awards, ten Silver Slugger Awards, and two Gold Glove Awards. Rodríguez is the career record holder for grand slams with 25. He signed two of the most lucrative sports contracts in history. First Edition [Stated], First Printing [Stated].…
