Alex ‘A-Rod’ Rodriguez has been a big part of the media landscape in America. Having burst into the scene as a young emergent MLB player, he has gone on to achieve heights not many players have seen. And yet when you look back at a time when he was still making his way through the league, you only see the supreme confidence we have always known him to have. And that was all too clear as A-Rod reflected on a 1998 clip where he had asked for Jennifer Lopez to be his dream date.

Alex Rodriguez started dating Jennifer Lopez in 2018 and was even engaged to the pop star in 2019. The couple, however, parted ways in early 2021. This story is from a time before. A time when A-Rod had recently proposed to Jennifer Lopez, and was now ready to plan his marriage with the artist. And sporting the Seattle Mariners uniform, he remembered a time when the young shortstop made some bold claims.
