Jimmy Fallon continued to read the purpose of the app. He said, “This is an app that sends out an alert every hour. That alert would be just a reminder that the Red Sox won 119 games and the World Series last season. No one should ever forget.”

As the audience and Jimmy Fallon break into laughter, A-Rod was stuck with an embarrassed smile on his face. Regan Maloney definitely hit A-Rod, exactly where it would hurt him.

A-Rod’s career in the ballpark

A-Rod made his MLB debut in 1994 with the Seattle Mariners. After spending seven seasons with them, the shortstop reached the Texas Rangers. Finally, he arrived for the most glorious segment of his career at the Yankees. Making a quick transition from shortstop to the third baseman, A-Rod played with the Yanks till he retired in 2016.
