Alex Rodriguez’s Career
Alex Rodriguez played as a shortstop in MLB for the better part of his 22-year long career. He was selected first overall in the 1993 draft and played for a number of franchises in MLB.
Across his playing career, he featured for the Seattle Mariners, the Texas Rangers, and the New York Yankees. His stellar record comprises two Gold Glove Awards and, to add to that, he is also a ten-time Silver Slugger Award winner.
Having featured as an All-Star 14 times, A-Rod is a big part of the MLB and is in the Hall of Fame Ballot for the first time in 2021.
Alex is one of the few players to effectively transition from a playing career to a new role as an investor and manager of a large investing and management corporation. Surely, A-Rod will be looking to score some home runs in his new field as well, as he continues his quest for excellence.
