New York Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez is flirting with Buddhism.

The third baseman — who is still celebrating after clinching the Bronx Bombers’ 27th World Series Championship last Wednesday — was born Christian and briefly studied Kabbalah during his “affair of the heart” with pop star Madonna, now A-Rod is considering becoming a Buddhist now that he’s taken up with actress Kate Hudson.

According to GLOBE’s Loosch Lips Column: “It’s an important part of Kate’s life and Alex really wants to make her happy,” says a spy, who adds that Alex’s Buddha movie would hit a major home run with Kate’s mom, Goldie Hawn. “Goldie more than approves of Alex and if he becomes a Buddhist, it’s only seal the deal.”
