>> i'm not going to lie. i feel it. around 2:00, 3:00 in the morning, it's hot. you feel that steam coming up from the concrete. but as the day prolgs even as the temperature slowly climbs up it's that son directly hitting you that makes it unbearable. i've talked to people saying it's not that bad. that's because they're out here a few minutes. you can see 88 degrees. with the heat indices, we're seeing temperatures be 95, 98 degrees, depending on where you are. is this nowhere where the hottest time of the day. i spoke to a couple people. >> we're from arizona, we came to new york city to get away from the heat. >> it's 98 in arizona. it's 100 here with the humidity. >> hot, too hot. but if you don't do it now, you're never going to do it. it gets hot here. maybe i should go and have a shower and go and see the sights of new york. >> it's hot, it's hot. i can't work. it's very hot today. it's like 88 degrees. and later, it's going to be like 97 degrees. >> you know, one of the things, michaela, we talked about, not just how hot it is specifically in one day, but it's how long we have to deal with that heat. that's the reason we have so many advisories. we're talking about major metropolitan cities. today, even more people affected. for a fifth day in new york. anywhere from southern new england, down to maryland. spreading all the way into minnesota and dakotas today. we actually have a few more days to go. we're not going to see relief until the weekend, eventually, we'll see the relief start in the midwest and make its way over here. for me in the good old gravel, it looks like a while. >> indra, i half expected to see you fry an egg on that sidewalk. we appreciate that you actually but flip-flops on. you cannot wear closed-toes shoes on a hot day like today. >> i'll make you breakfast tomorrow. >> indra reporting there. to sports now, and the expected and highly anticipated return of alex rodriquez, the yankees' third baseman said he'll be back on a major league field on monday for the first game of the season. it has been quite a rough ride for the former mvp. many rumors and accusations for the $275 million man who jut can't escape the critics or the c comics. >> there are rumors that major league baseball is going to suspend a-rod after the all-star break. honestly, that's okay. yankee fans are used to him not showing up for the second half of the season. >> how about that? what is a-rod hoping for as he gets back on the field. we get that story from our jason carol. >> you know, every day say new day. obviously, in this process, there's a lot of challenges. >> reporter: alex rodriguez knows a lot about challenges he's recovered from hip surgery. the second of his career. and the new york yankee third baseman is back on the field for now, with the aaa trenton thunder. getting back in the game, the real game, may be his greatest challenge. one he hopes to overcome with hope from fans. >> i mean, the support has been overwhelming. and this has been a very difficult process. i'm just humbled by the opportunity to play baseball. i love this game so much. i hate all the noise, but hopefully that goes away soon. and we can get back to playing baseball. >> reporter: part of the so-called noise, major league baseball's investigation into allegations linking rodriguez and other players to this florida clinic shut down for distributing performance-enhancing drugs. rodriguez denies being treated by the clinic. a possible suspension from the team. $114 million contract and his legacy hang in the balance. >> a lot of pressures, a lot of allegations out there. how are you managing to deal with that, while also trying to manage the physical part of trying to come back? >> well, that's a good question. it's never easy and not fun. >> what's harder jt mental or the physical? which one is harder? >> i think in this case, it's both. >> what happens if there is a suspension? how disappointed would you be if you're not able to come back? >> well i'm going to focus on the positive, you know. obviously, that situation, i can't comment on at the moment. but i'm really looking forward to coming back to new york. i feel like i owe the yankee fan base, my a-game. i don't think he that last year. >> no negotiations going on, no sort of plea deals? nothing like that? no deals being made? >> i don't think there's anything that's going on right now. that's as far as i'm going here. i think that's a process, we have a good system in major league baseball. let's get the process play out. >> it's the something that's not ruled in your favor wow, want to continue to fight? >> you know, i'd rather not get into any of that right now. it's premature. we'll let the process play out. that's my responsibility right now. >> he really doesn't do that very often, jason. one-on-one like that. that was a great get. he really did not want to talk about the biogenesis issue. >> no, he did not. the reason is because of the ongoing investigation. he was advised not to talk about. but he has been on the record very clearly saying, look, i did not take any performance-enhancing drugs i was not affiliated with that particular clinic. this investigation is ongoing. we'll see what happens when the m.o.b. completes it. >> he wants the message that is going on out there about him? >> he does, he feels that message has not gone out the way he wanted it to. he also said over the past year, he wanted to speak to his fans. he said he's been grateful to the fans who have come out to support him. there have been critics who say he's overpaid, not worth the money, all the medical issues not worth it for the yankees throughout. he has worked hard and he wants to come back. >> and that suspension is weighing over him, i'm sure? >> it's still very much a possibility. we'll have to wait to see what mlb couplings up with. what evidence ty come up with, i wouldn't be surprised if rodriguez decides to fight or appeal. >> jason carroll, our first time meeting. another one from indra petersons from the west coast. a trifecta here. >> we're all in the house. still after the break, trayvon martin's parents have been silent since george zimmerman was found not guilty of murdering their son. but today they come forward. they say it's sending a terrible message to kids just like trayvon. it steals your memories. your independence. ensures support, a breakthrough. and sooner than you'd like. sooner than you'd think. you die from alzheimer's disease. we cure alzheimer's disease. every little click, call or donation adds up to something big. in cities like charlotte,ing. atlanta, and chicago, we're revving people up to take a lap around the legendary nascar race track with drivers from the coca-cola racing family. coca-coca family track walks give thousands of race fans the chance to get out, get moving, and have fun... all along the way. it's part of our goal to inspire more than three million people to rediscover the joy of being active this summer. see the difference all of us can make... together.
