Alex Rodriguez's performance enhancing drug use scandal which has lead to him appealing a 211-game suspension, has now also cost him a role in the upcoming Yankees animated children's film, "Henry & Me." Rodriguez apparently only has a few lines in the approximately one-hour film, but his animated character appears in around 49 animated scenes, and the edits to cut him from the film will apparently take four to six months to complete and "cost a fortune," according to producer Joseph Avallone.
Executive producer of the film, Ray Negron, who has been a longtime adviser for the Yankees, explained the reasoning behind the decision to cut Alex.
"We have investors that we have to answer to, just like the Yankees. If ownership decides that this is a direction that we have to go, meaning our investors, we have to listen to ownership. That's just the way it is. It works just like a team. It's the same thing."
