The Day Yanks' Postseason Streak Ends, A-Rod's $14 M. Condo Hits Market

Last month, in a quite eloquently titled post ("Goodbye to His-and-Hers Whirlpool Baths: A-Rod Lists Trump Park Condo"), The Observer reported that Yankee slugger Alex Rodriguez would be listing his Trump Park apartment for around $13 million.

Yesterday, the day that his team's epic postseason streak came to a very depressing end, Mr. Rodriguez's apartment officially hit the market, according to this listing. The asking price is $14 million--despite the fact that the player reportedly paid $7.5 million for the apartment. (As it happens, city records suggest that his price could have actually been as low as $6,910,000, less than half what he's now asking.)

According to the listing, the 4,600-square-foot spread has a dining area, a "library/den," a "dressing area," a windowed chef's kitchen, and, of course, an en-suite master bathroom.
