Anybody who follows baseball can tell you that Alex Rodriguez is the king of controversy. It does not seem to be helping Selena Roberts out very much nor the publishers of her tell all book on the Yankee slugger. The book is called "A-Rod: The Many Lives Of Alex Rodriguez" and was released in early May to coincide with the return of the Yankee Third baseman to his team following an early season injury. 150,000 copies of the book were published in advance in anticipation that there would be a demand for it. The first week it was out the book sold about 11,000 copies which was good enough to place it at number 9 on the New York times best seller list for that week. Since then the book has not sold very well at all. By the end of May it had only sold a total of 16,000 copies.
