Alex Rodriguez's MLB career
In 2016, Alex Rodriguez retired from the New York Yankees with a .295 career average also nearly 700 home runs. Despite his divisive name, A-Rod has not allowed his controversial reputation to hinder his public image.
The founder of A-Rod Corp has remained actively engaged on the investing front. Next year, he is anticipated to acquire majority ownership of the NBA's Minnesota Timberwolves alongside billionaire Marc Lore.
In 1993, Rodriguez was the first overall pick. In 1996, as a team member of the Seattle Mariners, he won the 1996 AL batting title with a .358 average. However, his time in Seattle ended after he signed a ten-year, $325 million contract with the Texas Rangers, where he won the AL MVP Award in 2003.
Although, many simply detest Alex Rodriguez for his alleged cheating. However, one cannot debate on that he possessed a immense array of skills during his gaming days and a strong business acumen in his retirement.
