The list of baseball greats isn’t complete without Alex Rodriguez’s name on it. With over 600 home runs, 2000+ RBI and runs scored, and 300 stolen bases—he has earned his mantle in the sport. After his retirement, though he hasn’t stepped too far from the plate. He has delved into business through A-Rod Corp. A-Rod is also the co-owner of the Minnesota Timberwolves. Not to mention, keeping him busy nowadays is his thriving career as a FOX analyst. 

The former New York Yankee star is covering the NLCS games between the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Mets. Joining him in all the fun is his former teammate Derek Jeter and of course David Ortiz. While the analyst role is something A-Rod seems to be enjoying, he also seems to have taken an interest in being a chef now!

Alex Rodriguez, going from baseball to burgers!

A-Rod is having a blast with his FOX crew talking about the games, the predictions, and more. Not to mention, just the fun banter the analysts have is refreshing. Moreover, the games are heating up, especially after Game 5 at Citi Field. This is when the Mets unexpectedly crushed the LA Dodgers with a humiliating 12-6 score. The Dodgers were leading, and another win would have locked them into the World Series. But the Mets said—not today!

However, A-Rod wasn’t just on the panel with Derek Jeter, and the crew—he was also in the kitchen. Yes, you heard that right; he was flipping burgers. Alex Rodriguez posted a video of him jumping into action at the clubhouse kitchen to help prepare the burgers for the massive crowds. In the post, the caption said, “Mets Stadium was so busy I needed to jump in and help. Just doing what I can.” Right from stuffing to the packing, A-Rod did it all. 

Well, Rodriguez seems to be well-versed not just in baseball but also in burgers! And it’s not every day; that a baseball star like him is serving burgers!

A-Rod turned bartender for a day

Alex Rodriguez has always been full of surprises, and he’s done it again! From flipping burgers at Citi Field to slinging beers at an NBA playoff game, A-Rod is proving he knows how to keep things exciting off the field too. Before his now-viral burger-flipping stint, Rodriguez took on a completely different role that no one saw coming—bartender. Yep, you read that right. During Game 3 of the Timberwolves’ conference semifinals, A-Rod turned heads by stepping behind the bar.

On May 6, 2024, while cheering on his Minnesota Timberwolves in Denver, Rodriguez decided to don a bartender’s shirt and serve up cold beers to ecstatic fans. People were floored, not just because of the unexpected sight of their baseball hero serving them drinks, but because it was a rare, unforgettable moment. Videos of A-Rod working the taps quickly went viral, with many dubbing him the “people’s owner” for his fan-friendly antics.

His timing couldn’t have been better. Despite ongoing tensions between Timberwolves ownership and Glen Taylor, Rodriguez’s actions seemed to strengthen his bond with the fan base. He showed that no matter what’s happening behind the scenes, he’s all about connecting with the crowd in the most unexpected ways.

Who would’ve thought? A baseball legend with a hidden talent for bartending and burger-flipping! Whether it’s a clever PR move or just A-Rod being A-Rod, one thing’s for sure: he’s keeping fans delighted, one burger and one beer at a time. Could a career in hospitality be next? Well, with Alex Rodriguez, anything’s possible!
