Alex Rodriguez was trolled by Red Sox fans who chanted Jennifer Lopez’s name at him
Alex Rodriguez was mocked at the MLB playoffs game by Red Sox fans who chanted the name of his ex-fiancee at him.
The former New York Yankees player was on hand as a commentator for the third game of the ALCS series between the Boston Red Sox and the Houston Astros. Proving that there’s still no love lost between Yankees and Red Sox fans, a group of fans positioned behind ARod decided to have some fun at his expense.
In a video posted on Twitter, a group of Red Sox supporters can be heard chanting Jennifer Lopez’s nickname “JLo” in a mocking cadence, clearly trying to get a rise out of him. Fortunately, it seems that Rodriguez kept things professional and simply ignored the jabs from Red Sox fans.
“We have realized we are better as friends and look forward to remaining so. We will continue to work together and support each other on our shared businesses and projects,” the duo’s joint statement reads. “We wish the best for each other and one another’s children. Out of respect for them, the only other comment we have to say is thank you to everyone who has sent kind words and support.”

Very soon after, JLo reconnected with her ex, actor Ben Affleck. The two have since gone public with their rekindled romance, which likely contributed to the people at the game trolling the former New York Yankee.

“I will not wear a Yankees hat. I just can’t. I can’t wear it because it’s going to become a thing,” he said at the time (via E! News).
For example, in Affleck’s 2014 movie “Gone Girl,” he wore a New York Mets hat after arguing with the film’s director, David Fincher, about wearing an NYY cap. Production was shut down for four days while the two reached a compromise.
