Alex Rodriguez, a man who has lived a life filled with success, is now giving back to his roots in a pretty cool way. One might know him for his baseball days, but he’s also making a name for himself as a philanthropist. And let’s be real, every athlete has a soft spot for their old stomping grounds. It’s where they spent a lifetime making memories, with a few of them probably being wild. So it’s no surprise that they feel a special connection to their alma mater. 

A-Rod exemplifies this connection as he recently attended a charity game between his two old high schools – Christopher Columbus and Westminster Christian. The game was in support of the Ari Arteaga Foundation, which helps provide education to kids who are facing financial obstacles.
