"How's it still harder than baseball?" - Yankees icon Alex Rodriguez admits he finds golf more challenging than his legendary MLB career
After dominating professional baseball for 22 straight years, the 14-time New York Yankees All-Star Alex Rodriguez has found golf as a new challenge in his post-retirement life.
Rodriguez shared a video of himself on Instagram playing golf and posed an interesting question for his followers in the caption:
“How’s this still harder than baseball?!”
Alex Rodriguez played at the beautiful course of Spring Hill Golf Club, enjoying the sunny weather with his friends.
“Beautiful Day out on the course,” he wrote in his story.
Even at 41, Rodriguez aka A-Rod remains passionate about learning new sports.
“Love learning this sport… It never stops,” he added on another story.
While enjoying the game, Rodriguez acknowledged the physical exercise he had by sharing a snapshot of the steps he took during an 18-hole round, along with his scorecard, on Instagram.
“Steps in one round of 18,” Rodriguez commented with a surprised emoji.
In baseball, his résumé ranks among the best, but it remains to be seen how far can the Yankees legend go in his new hobby. Rodriguez currently works as a game analyst for Fox Sports, giving his valuable insights into games and players. He doesn’t shy from delivering his opinion, which sometimes makes him a topic of discussion among fans and players.
Alex Rodriguez dedicated hours to his huge fanbase
Alex Rodriguez’s two decades' worth of service in professional baseball gave him a massive fan base, which continues to grow. Last month, he shared a video of himself on Instagram, signing 1,000 pieces of baseball memorabilia for his followers for three hours, showcasing his dedication to them.
“My hand hurts…,” he wrote in the caption.
Moreover, Alex Rodriguez also looks forward to being inducted into Cooperstown one day. This year was his third attempt, and he got 38.1% votes, a slightly better result than last year (35.7%).
