Alex “A-Rod” Rodriguez – A World Series Champion
Rodriguez grew into Major League Baseball as one of its stars from the time he stepped into the league. Initially drafted by the Seattle Mariners, Rodriguez spent a few years with his debut franchise before choosing to shift base to the Texas Rangers.
However, his most successful stint came with the New York Yankees when he won a World Series with the Bronx Bombers in 2009. He went on to sport the pinstripes until his ultimate retirement in 2016.
Since his retirement, A-Rod has enjoyed a stint in sports punditry and as a broadcaster. In fact, there was also talk of A-Rod getting a Manningcast type broadcast as ESPN reshuffles its broadcast schedule. This could, however, mean that fans see A-Rod out of his usual spot on Sunday Night broadcasts and analysis.
