Alex Rodriguez
Alex Rodriguez, often known as A-Rod, is a former American professional baseball player who played primarily for the Seattle Mariners, Texas Rangers, and New York Yankees.
One of the most talented and controversial players of his era, he won three MVP awards and hit 696 career home runs, but his legacy is complicated by admissions of performance-enhancing drug use and a season-long suspension in 2014.
