Unauthorized A-Rod biography date keeps slippin’ slippin’ slippin

If you’ve been eagerly awaiting Selena Roberts’ unauthorized book on A-Rod, you’re going to have to keep on waiting. She was adding just a little more–I imagine it has something to do with a steroid revelation and possibly this winter’s antics–but now it’s off to the printer and, no doubt, baseball’s scribes are preparing their tongues for another round of shameful clucking and sad, slow headshakes.

Selena Roberts’ unauthorized “A-Rod” was originally planned for May, then was moved up to mid-April after Roberts, a Sports Illustrated reporter, broke the news that the Yankees slugger had tested positive for steroids back in 2003.

But with Roberts needing more time for the book—which has been completed and was sent to the printer this week—publication was pushed back to late April and now is planned for May 12, according to publisher HarperCollins.

A-Rod could return by late April

As much as we dislike encouraging the Post, they do sometimes know what’s going on in New York. And there’s good news for Yankees fans, as A-Rod is doing well and could be back by late April.

Hitting coach Kevin Long, who speaks daily with A-Rod, told The Post that Rodriguez has begun to hit and reported that he “feels 70 percent.”

A Yankee official told The Post that he thought the rehab was going so well, in fact, that if the organization wanted to it could have Rodriguez back on a major league field by late April.

No report on how much mirror-kissing is involved.
