New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez has been taking in plenty of college football this season. For the second straight week, he popped up at an Alabama game. Rodriguez was spotted on the sidelines, wearing a gray and crimson sweater, as he took in the action during Alabama’s 59-0 win over Texas A&M.

Last week, Rodriguez was in Fayetteville for Alabama’s 14-13 win over the Arkansas Razorbacks, and he was spotted making the rounds at tailgates in a neutral-colored red jacket. The former MVP, who was suspended for 2014 following a steroid investigation, also attended the Notre Dame-Michigan game in South Bend and went to Lincoln, Neb. to watch his hometown Miami Hurricanes take on the Cornhuskers.
Alabama coach Nick Saban has dropped by to see the Yankees as well. In March 2013, with his players away on spring break, Saban stopped by Yankees spring training. Additionally, Yankees manager Joe Girardi stopped in Tuscaloosa to speak to the Crimson Tide during preseason practices in 2013.
