Jennifer Lopez's boyfriend to call Yankees-Royals game Thursday

Alex Rodriguez to call Yankees-Royals game Thursday on FS1

Former Yankees third baseman, Alex Rodriguez, will make his debut as an in-game analyst on Thursday's Yankees-Royals game airing on FS1.

Rodriguez, who has gotten much positive press for the job he has done as a studio analyst for Fox Sports, will do color commentary while Kevin Burkhardt handles play-by-play duties.

The duo, along with Frank Thomas and Pete Rose are coming off a win at the Sports Emmys last week, when MLB on FOX: The Postseason, took home the award for  Outstanding Studio Show -- Limited Run.

After getting released by New York last season, A-Rod was an instructor for the team during spring training a few months ago. He has also kept himself busy off the field, focusing on broadcasting, his family, A-Rod Corp, getting a job on Shark Tank and a busy social life.

Rodriguez was suspended for the entire 2014 season and postseason (after MLB sought a 211-game suspension) for violating the league's drug policy and interfering with the league's investigation into the Biogenesis clinic, but clearly the past is the past.
