Alex Rodriguez, the all-star slugger playing for the highly-decorated baseball team of New York City, the New York Yankees, was cautioned by the Yankees organization that playing poker in illegal clubs may be detrimental for his image.

Well, considering the Yankees were booted out in these baseball wars just recently, what image is there left to protect anyway?

Nevertheless, A-Rod, according to a newspaper, was indeed forewarned by his team.

The Daily News reported that Alex Rodriguez has been attending games with professional poker player, Phil Hellmuth, in an underground club.

Reporters got to the Yankees organization and the Yankees official claimed that the team never got into a dialogue, or has brought up the topic of A-Rod attending such poker clubs for that matter, with the third baseman.

Alex Rodriguez' agent, Scott Boras, denied that the Yankees have spoken to his client about this situation.

''The Yankees have never addressed or spoken with me in regard to any off-field activities regarding Alex Rodriguez,'' Boras was quoted as saying in a published story.

'Playing in underground clubs is not illegal, however, it can be against the law to operate such establishments', as reported by the Daily News.

Well, there's only one thing to be assured though, poker certainly is an addictive game and basically anyone could get hooked by it.
