Alexander Emmanuel Rodriguez was born on July 27, 1975 in New York City, New York. "A-Rod" is a Dominican American professional baseball player. He currently plays third base for the New York Yankees of Major League Baseball. He previously played shortstop for the Seattle Mariners and the Texas Rangers. Rodriguez is considered one of the best all–around baseball players of all time. He is the youngest player ever to hit 500 home runs, breaking the record Jimmie Foxx set in 1939. We add a huge asterisk to the caricature for his use of steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs.
