Being just 18-years-old when he debuted for the Seattle Mariners in 1994, Alex Rodriguez hasn’t had to do a whole lot for himself over the past 30 years.
He had already made a million dollars by the time he was 20 and earned over $455 million during his 22 seasons in Major League Baseball.
So, this week, when his college-age daughter Natasha Rodriguez asked him to go grocery shopping with her, it wasn’t terribly surprising that A-Rod looked completely befuddled by the whole process.
“Life as a college dad,” Alex Rodriguez wrote in the description of a video he shared on Instagram.
“So I was very excited that my daughter asked me to go to dinner here at the University of Michigan,” he says to the camera.
“I fly in, I go to her dorm. First thing we do? We go do her laundry,” he continued.
“Then, I’m starving so I’m thinking we are going to a great restaurant and then we pull up at Trader Joe’s. And we’ve been here for the last two hours. We’ve bought enough food for four semesters and I’m still starving.”
The camera then pans to A-Rod pushing a cart.
“Just when I think I am in the clear,” he captions the video which shows him trying to exit through the entrance.
Meanwhile, his daughter (who one has to assume is running the camera, is giggling away at him the entire time.
Finally, he makes it to the exit, but, hold on… “enough food for four semesters”? There are only two grocery bags in the cart and she obviously isn’t carrying more than one more, if any at all, because she’s running the camera.
Does Alex Rodriguez not know how food works? We already know he doesn’t have a clue how a snow shovel works.
“This man hasn’t been in a grocery store since 1997,” one viewer wrote in the comments.
Never change, A-Rod. Never change.
