Time to rebuild? Alex Rodriguez visits an architect with girlfriend Torrie Wilson amidst legal battle with the baseball league

While his lawyers battled to save his crumbling career and his damaged reputation, Alex Rodriguez was doing some rebuilding of his own.
The scandal-ridden baseball star was spotted leaving an architect office in Miami on Wednesday with girlfriend, 38-year-old Torrie Wilson.
The New York Yankee player appeared calm and focused as he walked down the steps of the building, despite the legal storm brewing after the 38-year-old accused baseball commissioner Bud Selig of conducting a 'witch hunt' against him.

Most often seen in the signature pinstripes of the famous New York team, Rodriguez wore a navy blue polo shirt and black trousers as he left the corporate office.

If he was feeling the heat of the mounting lawsuit then it didn't show as he hid behind Ray-Ban sunglasses and kept his head down.
Girlfriend and former WWE Diva Torrie Wilson was in a much more jovial mood as she smiled brightly in the Florida sun.

Bulging muscles: A-Rod's strong body under his polo shirt was allegedly built with the aid of steroids

The 5'9" Playboy model and retired professional wrestler had her signature mane of blonde hair falling around her shoulders but her famous rippling muscles were hidden from view.
The couple have been together since 2011 and the tough persona that got them both to the top of their sports has helped weather the storms of scandal.
Having long spent the off-season escaping winter in Miami where he grew up, A-Rod sold the palatial mansion that he bought while dating Cameron Diaz earlier this year for $30 million.

The trip to the architect on Wednesday prompted speculation that he might be designing a dream home for him and Wilson, should they choose to settle down once his playing career is over for good.
Retirement will most likely come sooner rather than later, since the slugger accused Selig of smearing his character and costing him tens of millions of dollars in a lawsuit that was filed in New York State Supreme Court court last week.
It seeks unspecified compensatory and punitive damages for what it alleges was a relentless campaign by the league and Selig to 'destroy the reputation and career of Alex Rodriguez.'

The suit claims Selig and MLB tried to ruin Rodriguez’s reputation to 'gloss over' Selig’s past inaction and tacit approval of the use of performance-enhancing substances in baseball, which the lawsuit said had turned the 'Golden Age of Baseball' into the 'Golden Age of Steroids.'
The lawsuit said Selig hoped to redeem himself and secure his legacy as the 'savior' of America’s pastime.
Rodriguez is appealing a 211-game suspension for violating baseball's drug agreement and labor contract.
Both A-Rod and the Yankees have plenty of time to deal with the legal firestorm since the team were eliminated from the current baseball playoffs with a loss to Tampa Bay on September 25.
