Jeff Kent, recently inducted into the MLB Hall of Fame, expressed lingering resentment towards Alex Rodriguez for a hard slide in 1998 that injured his knee, causing him to miss a month of play. Kent described Rodriguez’s actions as unnecessary and criticized his aggressive playing style. Despite his Hall of Fame credentials and record for home runs by a second baseman, Rodriguez has struggled to gain Hall of Fame recognition, receiving only 40% of the votes. Kent will be inducted on July 26, alongside Carlos Beltran and Andruw Jones.
