New York – In an exclusive interview on the podcast “Emprendedores”, the iconic former Major League Baseball player, Alex Rodriguez, opened his heart to share unpublished aspects of his retirement, his feelings about the Hall of Fame, and his current role in the world of baseball.
Rodríguez, known for his candor, revealed details about his decision to end his career wearing the Yankees uniform, rejecting offers from other teams that would have allowed him to reach the 700 home run mark.
The conversation also addressed the emotional complexity of not yet being inducted into the Hall of Fame, despite his outstanding baseball career, characterized by 696 home runs, multiple MVP awards, and an undeniable legacy.“Three teams contacted me to get the four home runs I needed, but after talking with my mother and my brothers, I decided that 696 with the Yankees were worth more than 700 with another uniform,”

“Of course it hurts. But, as my mother, a woman of faith, says: she prays daily for me to be in the Hall alongside Pedro Martínez and Big Papi. I share that faith,”

During the interview, Rodriguez expressed his admiration for his idols and colleagues, pointing to Barry Bonds as the best baseball player of all time and Michael Jordan over LeBron James in basketball.
Regarding the possibility of becoming a manager, Rodriguez was categorical:
“I don’t have the patience. I admire those who do it, but it’s not for me.”
