-Alex, there are a lot of rumors in this about you out there,
and we're gonna get to the bottom of them right now.
It is time for a new segment called "Q&A-Rod."
Here we go. [ Cheers and applause ]
-♪ Q&A-Rod ♪
-All business in that graphic. -I'm nervous.
-Yeah, yeah, don't be nervous. Here we go.
First question -- did you and Jennifer Lopez
recently go on a double date
with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle?
And if so, who paid?
[ Laughter ]
-I signed an NDA. -Oh, my God.
So that means you did. -Nondisclosure.
-Yeah, all right.
I'll take that as you did. -Okay.
[ Laughter ]
-I would make him pay and her pay, whatever. Right?
Next question -- how close were you
to playing for the Boston Red Sox?
-Actually, very close.
At home, I have a signed contract by John Henry,
the owner, by Theo Epstein, the current GM at the time...
-No. -...and by me.
And at the last moment,
it was rejected by Don Fehr and the union.
So -- but I still have it at home in my safe
as a collector's item. -Yeah.
Wow! This is Rangers, then --
It was gonna be -- -I was gonna go from the Rangers
before the '04 season, and then, before the season,
once that, you know, got destroyed,
Mr. George Steinbrenner came on call and he said,
"Are you willing to play third base?"
I said, "For the Yankees, I'll play anything."
[ Laughter ] -I love that!
[ Cheers and applause ]
Next question -- Is it true that you and Jennifer Lopez
will have a choreographed first dance at your wedding?
-[ Laughs ] NDA.
[ Laughter and applause ]
When I get home tonight -- I can't talk about the wedding.
I want to be able to get home. -Yeah, exactly.
All right, good, good, good.
This is the last question right here.
Is it true that you were interested
in buying the New York Mets?
-Oh.
Oh, that's a good question. -You can't say NDA.
-No, I can't say NDA, but look -- here's what it is.
I love New York City, number one.
A lot of people don't know this...
[ Cheers and applause ]
...but growing up, I was a big Mets fan.
And with the exception of my daughters' birth, both of them,
the best years of my life were 1986 and 2009 when we won.
So I will say this -- if the opportunity came up,
I would certainly look at it and maybe --
maybe you can buy them with me. -Dude.
-I need a partner! -Yeah, of course!
I'm there with you! Let's do it.
Let's buy the Mets! -Yes!
[ Cheers and applause ] -Alex Rodriguez, everybody!
The co-owners of the New York Mets!
