Alex Rodriguez and Doug Mientkewicz spent only one year as teammates in the major leagues, so it may make sense they would not have the best relationship ever.

However, that was not their only time as teammates - the two played both baseball and football together at Westminster Christian School outside of Miami.

However, despite knowing each other since childhood, Mientkewicz unloaded on his former teammate, a three-time MVP and World Series champion with Hall of Fame numbers.

"I’ve always said this, he’s going to die a lonely man," Mientkiewicz said on "Foul Territory." "This whole ‘father of the year’ stuff, God bless him with his daughters, because it’s got to come a long way. But it’s like, ‘You’re just trying to get into heaven now.’ I’m still friends with my high school team. We still text often, not as often as we should, but we still text, group thread, constantly badgering each other. He’s just distanced from it. I don’t care how good or how great you become and how far your career goes, you never forget your high school dudes."
