Alexander Emmanuel Rodriguez (born July 27, 1975), nicknamed "A-Rod", is an American former professional baseball shortstop and third baseman who played 22 seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB).
He played seven seasons with Seattle Mariners, three seasons with the Texas Rangers and twelve seasons with the New York Yankees. Rodriguez began his professional career as one of the sport's most highly touted prospects, and is considered to be one of the greatest baseball players of all time.
Alex Rodriguez is always a good sport. During Monday night’s New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox’s MLB game, Rodriguez’s fellow commentator, Michael Kay, found the time to subtly bring up Jennifer Lopez’s engagement to Ben Affleck.«It's a great time in sports,» Kay told Rodriguez. «You have a new Masters champion, the NBA playoffs are about to start, baseball's in the full swing, people getting engaged.

Kay quickly added, „You know what? I think of Gandhi and you.“ Rodriguez, 46, and Lopez, 52, announced the end of their 2-year engagement in April 2021.
