I met A -Rod when I was around 12 years old at an event. the guy was surrounded by adults, talking and enjoying himself. I remember I went up to him and asked to shake his hand, He shook my hand, asked me my name and said thank you for coming up to him and introducing myself.
+Liam Markgraf Never could hit his home runs in clutch situations. His BA was .250... not to mention he's fifth in all-time strikeouts as a hitter. Sorry, but he ain't got a ring to show for 2015. all's I'm sayin
Jim he is playing his last game at the stadium... his last game in gonna be August 12 !! so you absolutely don't know what the hell your talking about ! I do agree they should let him finish the season tho..
Good call yanks. I remember watching Mattingly, Winfield, guidry gossage Jim rice, Boggs, in there decline years it's a natural part of the game right of passage. It's a sad thing. It's an obvious thing. These guys couldn't go no more. And they didn't go out well. These were titans of the game, all of the sudden can't catch up to a 90 mph pitch. Or resting the bat on there shoulder, rushing swings, slow bat speeds. poeple tagging them when they are pitching. a once great pitcher throwing junk, to get to September. The Yankees didn't want that for A rod. it's embarrassing and just sad not right. watching or forcing a guy who can't go no more no matter what he says A rod is retrieing . cause he knows, it's time 700 or not. Was good call A rod, good call Yankees.
tomismop no way he was unnatural in Texas due to pressures from his massive contract and unnatural one year in New York due to injury I believe that’s perfectly acceptable
Play for some other team next season. I don't understand this bullshit? The Yankees suck anyway. Let him go for 700. If I give you drugs will you hit 700 homers? I don't think so.

A rod and Jeter were my favorite players ever in baseball now they are both gone
Luke Baker what about Aaron judge
Young NY Knick same
i love seeing these moments come full circle
Damn when he retired i stopped watching baseball with joy and enthusiasm. Watching Jeter and arod were the best years!
congrats ur career was amazing and ur always gunna b a rod
A FRAUD !!!!
phil licitra lmao what, okay he cheated but many of those players were juiced up and he still was one of the best hitters of all time.
@@youunfriendlyoutlaw4691 he was nothing without the juice and he was the biggest choker of all time
phil licitra that’s completely wrong, steroids don’t improve you by that much. He was still a juggernaut of a player with or without them.
@@SuperPhilly5 coming from your username this makes sense😂😂
😢
When you dont want to say goodbye...
YAY! A-Rod has just been a "A"utomatic out the past few seasons.
You must have not been watching last year lol

Hmm I won't miss him as much as others, but I still like him and I wish him well!

They treated a rod like shit
why did he not wait to the end of season
Because the Yankees even when they are bad like this year want to be the center of attention. They did the same thing with Teixera.
@@theillusionist8171 THEY BOTH SUCKED ASS

Will he go to the HOF as a Yankee or a Mariner
yankee for sure
Idk, the Mariners are his only possible natural years, if that.

@Theeeee Joker yeah no shot since bonds and Pete rose didn’t get in. They deserved it tho in my opinion
Good Riddens CHEATER
Houston Born White Guy Riddance, idiot.

Houston Born White Guy f u

The crying is unfortunately because of guilt, of the rules he broke.
Jeffrey Adams man you a hater smh
