Since retiring from a storied baseball career in 2016, Alex Rodriguez has set his sights on a new venture in the realm of business with A-Rod Corp. Despite leaving the diamond behind, the shortstop-turned-baseman has remained closely connected to the sport through his work as a broadcaster and analyst for ESPN and Fox. Alongside a cadre of baseball luminaries including David Ortiz, Frank Thomas, and commentator Kevin Burkhardt, A-Rod has consistently demonstrated his passion for the game from the broadcast booth. Very often, this passion has found a display through strange and amusing antics on the screen, and in this situation, on the field.

During the 2021 World Series, in an Atlanta Braves home game, the 2009 World Champion started walking toward the batter’s box, but not with a baseball bat. Instead, A-Rod held a rake, and as he walked to the field, he started sweeping the floor.

Correspondingly, 61 weeks in the past, Alex Rodriguez, with four million Instagram followers, reached his handle with a video of him sweeping the floor, and encouraging, or discouraging comments from the Fox broadcasting team, which started off with Kevin Burkhardt saying, “Well it’s so late that they’ve asked us to help clean up the place.”

In addition, the Fox broadcast shared a light and humorous moment, where A-Rod received comments from his co-hosts with Burkhardt saying, “Alex, when was the last time you used a rake?” While Frank Thomas and David Ortiz lauded, “You missed a spot right there,” and “That smile doesn’t go away.”
