Alex ‘A-Rod’ Rodriguez Has the Best Reaction to Announce Derek Jeter’s Social Media Debut

Alex ‘A-Rod’ Rodriguez and Derek Jeter have spent a large amount of time together at the New York Yankees. However, despite playing for over ten years together, A-Rod and Jeter did not get along. As there were always controversies regarding their relationship.

However, forgetting the past, Alex Rodriguez welcomed his former camaraderie into the virtual world with open hands. It is not that they always had beef with each other. In fact, these two led the New York Yankees to win the World Series in the 2009 season. And since then, the Yankees have failed to win the prestigious title.

With a career that spanned over two decades, Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter have ruled an era in Major League Baseball. Unlike A-Rod, Jeter was more of a leader of the pack. Though Jeter also had a legendary career, he was more of a team player.

Alex ‘A-Rod’ Rodriguez welcomes Derek Jeter on Twitter

Earlier on Tuesday, when Jeter announced his arrival into the virtual world, A-Rod did not miss the opportunity to welcome his captain on Twitter. He tweeted, “Welcome to Twitter, Captain!”

There are so many similarities between A-Rod and Jeter’s MLB careers. Both are 14-time All-Stars with 20-plus years of professional careers in MLB. But when it comes to individual records, Alex ‘A-Rod’ Rodriguez is way ahead of Derek Jeter.

A-Rod has 696 home runs in his MLB career, whereas the former Yankees captain has just 260 home runs in his MLB career. However, when it comes down to the World Series title, Jeter has the edge over A-Rod.

A-Rod has won just one World Series title in his 22-years-long career, while Jeter won five World Series titles with the Yankees, including a hat-trick run between 1998 and 2000.

Derek Jeter might be slightly ahead of A-Rod in his MLB career. But when it comes to their post-retirement career, Jeter is nowhere close to A-Rod. With a net worth of over $350 million, A-Rod is the wealthiest baseball personality, while Jeter has just $200 million.
