Alex Rodriguez

Alex Rodriguez is known as one of the greatest players in baseball history. Over his 22-year career, Rodriguez batted .295 with 696 home runs, 3,115 hits and 2,086 RBI. He was a 14-time All-Star and 10-time Silver Slugger Award winner. On three occasions, Rodriguez was named American League Most Valuable Player. He led baseball in RBI twice and paced the AL in home runs three times. Rodriguez was one of the most coveted prospects of all-time when he was the first overall pick in the 1993 MLB Draft by the Seattle Mariners. He debuted in the big leagues a year later and won the AL batting title in 1996. Rodriguez went on to sign the then-richest contract in baseball history, a 10-year $252 million pact with the Texas Rangers in 2000. He joined the New York Yankees via trade in 2004. Rodriguez became the youngest player to hit 500 home runs in 2007. Two years later, he helped the Yankees win the World Series and won the Babe Ruth Award as the MVP of the postseason after hitting .355 with six home runs and 18 RBI. Rodriguez retired after the 2016 season and remains a special advisor in New York. He has gained great acclaim as a television commentator on baseball for Fox.
