Derek Jeter's public bromance with Alex Rodriguez unraveled in 2001 because, as the retired Yankees captain has now revealed, A-Rod was 'not a true friend.'Speaking to ESPN as part of a seven-part docs-series on his life titled 'The Captain,' the 48-year-old Jeter pointed to a decades-old Esquire profile of Rodriguez, who had just departed the Seattle Mariners to sign what was then largest contract in sports history with the Texas Rangers (10 years, $252 million).Until that point, the two shortstops were often compared to each other, having debuted in consecutive seasons in the mid-1990s to immediate acclaim. But instead of a rivalry, the two All-Stars quickly became friends, socializing together and occasionally crashing at each other's apartments.
