Alex Rodriguez is an American baseball player with an estimated net worth of $300 million dollars. Rodriguez is 6’3″ and weighs 225 pounds and is currently plays third base for the New York Yankees. Alexander Emmanuel Rodriguez was born on July 27, 1975 in New York City, New York. Alex was married from 2002 to 2008 and has two children. Alex’s family moved from New York City to Miami when he was four. He attended Westminster Christian School and was a standout baseball and football player. After being named prep baseball player of the year, he signed a letter of intent to attend the University of Miami but instead signed a contract with the Seattle Mariners after being taken in the first round of the 1993 MLB Draft.
Alex played 32 games in the minor leagues before making his major league debut when he was 18, becoming the youngest Mariner position player ever. The season was cut short by a strike and he split most of the next year between the major and minors before getting his permanent call-up in 1995. Alex became the team’s permanent shortstop in 1996 and led the American League in hitting that season and became the youngest shortstop to make the All-Star game. He was also selected as the AP Major League Player of the Year. After a small dip in performance in his second full year, Alex flourished in his next three seasons, eventually winning the Major League Player of the Year Award by Baseball America. He became a free agent in 2000 and signed what was at the time the largest sports contract in history, $252 million for 10 years, with the Texas Rangers. He played only three seasons with the Rangers but put up impressive stats as power hitter and continued to win individual awards.
In 2004, Alex was traded to the New York Yankees and converted from a shortstop to a third baseman. He would go on to sign a 10-year contract worth $275 million with the Yankees in 2007. Although he enjoyed many great statistical seasons with the Yankees over the next decade and won his only World Series in 2009, Alex has never been totally embraced by fans in New York and with the onset of his off the field troubles in 2009 his celebrity has taken a turn for the negative. Although he denied taking any kind of performing enhancing drugs in his career many times, Alex admitted to using banned substances while with the Rangers in 2009. In 2013 a report surfaced that Alex had taken HGH from a clinic in Florida and he was suspended for 211 games, although he appealed the suspension and was allowed to play during the season. As one of the biggest celebrities in sports, Alex has been involved in a number of high-profile relationship, including with Madonna, Cameron Diaz and Kate Hudson.
