The offseason is upon us now, but the A-Rod Media Takeover continues. Next stop? Thursday's episode of "Live with Kelly," where he served as co-host for the morning. He didn't let the bright lights distract him:

He then proceeded to deposit some baseballs onto the Upper West Side:

Careful, Kyle, there are airplanes up there.
