Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter were a deadly combination for the New York Yankees. The two dominated an era in Major League Baseball. Unlike Jeter, A-Rod was a pure hitter of the game, while Jeter was more of a leader for the team.

The Yankees were the luckiest team during the late 2000s. The two biggest stars of baseball were playing for them. If not for his unnecessary controversies, Alex Rodriguez was one of the best hitters in the game. His eye-pleasing shots were a treat for baseball fans.

Talking about A-Rod’s hitting capabilities, even his teammate and then captain, Derek Jeter, once left awestruck by a moonshot of the former Yankees hitter. The duo of Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter also led the Yankees to win the World Series in the 2009 season.

Derek Jeter enjoyed a home run by Alex Rodriguez

Looking back into the late 2000s, the New York Yankees were the most dominant team in Major League Baseball. If not for the last few years, the Yankees were unbeatable in MLB. The Yankees have always been the destination of star players. Apart from being great professionals in the ballpark, A-Rod and Jeter also shared a great relationship outside the field.

A-Rod was such a good hitter of the game that he could win a game on his own. An old video of A-Rod hitting a massive home run is going viral on the internet. What is more eye-pleasing to watch is the reaction of Jeter when A-Rod smacked the ball out of the park.
