Alex Rodriguez received support from an unlikely source on Monday, as Rudy Giuliani came to the defense of the Yankees' third baseman. In a radio interview, Giuliani requested that New York's fans lay off A-Rod. "I really think Yankees fans have to change their whole attitude about this," Giuliani said in his interview with WFAN. "It doesn't make any sense to me to be booing A-Rod when you want him to perform. We're all on the same side here. We want him to succeed, not to fail. The idea of booing him every time he makes an out, it's kind of silly."
