Love can make a man do almost anything, and things are no different for New York Yankee Alex Rodriguez. Since A-Rod found love with actress Kate Hudson, he has been dating converting to Buddhism.  Kate is said to be devoted to Buddhism like her mother Goldie Hawn, and has been spotted holding brown Buddhist prayer beads known as mala beads.

So could A-Rod be serious about this conversion, and do it for all the reasons that are linked to Buddha? It’s hard to say being that this isn’t the first time A-Rod was linked to such a spiritual conversion. While romantically involved with Madonna, it was speculated that A-Rod was highly interested in converting to Madonna’s source of spirituality that is the Kabbalah. But as their relationship dropped off, so did the red string bracelet on A-Rod’s wrist.

Time will only tell if A-Rod truly intends to hit a homerun with this Buddhism talk, or if it’ll just become a foul ball like it did in his attempt with Kabbalahism.
