Fans join Alex Rodriguez in a trip down memory lane as he remembers his baseball farewell from 7 years ago

Alex Rodriguez became nostalgic after seven years of retirement from the MLB, where he played for 22 years and giving up wasn't easy.

He spent those seasons building memories, from the highest of highs to the lowest of lows, ever since making his major league debut in 1994 at Fenway Park as an 18-year-old who was "so damn nervous" starting at shortstop with the Seattle Mariners.

The 1993 No. 1 draft pick won the World Series in 2009 and won three MVP awards. He was also a 14-time All-Star. He played his last game at aged 41. After the 2016 Yankees' game at Yankee Stadium against the Tampa Bay Rays on Aug. 7, Rodriguez and the franchise announced: "The Yankees will give him his unconditional release."

As Alex Rodriguez recalled his baseball farewell from seven years ago, supporters joined him on a trip down memory lane.
