Alex Rodriguez
Definition
Alexander Emmanuel Rodriguez, nicknamed 'A-Rod', is a retired American professional baseball shortstop and third baseman who played 22 seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB) from 1994 to 2016, primarily with the Seattle Mariners, Texas Rangers, and New York Yankees.
One of MLB's most prolific power hitters with 696 career home runs, Rodriguez's legacy is complicated by a 2014 suspension for using performance-enhancing drugs, impacting his Hall of Fame candidacy.
Post-retirement, he serves as Chairman and CEO of A-Rod Corp, an investment firm, and co-chairman of the NBA's Minnesota Timberwolves, while engaging in broadcasting and youth baseball initiatives.
