Even six years after Alex Rodriguez played his last baseball game, the shortstop-turned-baseman maintains his popularity. The 14-time All-Star transformed from an icon in the ballpark to an extremely popular and respected media personality and successful business mogul. Through this, the World Champion consistently displayed occasions of philanthropy.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, in an interview with Entertainment Times, Alex Rodriguez spoke about letting go of something very close to his heart for a bigger cause.

Why was Alex Rodriguez willing to let go of his only World Championship Trophy?

As the pandemic struck the world, then-engaged A-Rod and J.Lo’s wedding plans went array. However, the couple did not back down from their societal responsibility and organized multiple fundraisers and charity digital performances. A-Rod was also among the multiple celebrities who intended to auction off priceless belongings for the greater good.

Alex Rodriguez committed to auctioning off his one and only 2009 World Championship Trophy and using generated funds as charity. When asked about letting go of possession like this, A-Rod said, “This is the time where my World Series Trophy is the least I can do.”
