Despite all the ongoing rumours, the player refused to comment on his personal life as he did not think that it was posing a threat to his on-field career.

From rumored infidelities to his high-profile divorce, the Yankees phenom's personal life became fodder for tabloids and media scrutiny. Yet, amidst this turmoil, he remained unyielding, channeling his energy into the game he loved.

The interview with New York Post had highlighted the sentiments of Joe Torre, the special assistant to the commissioner of MLB. Torre's words echoed the sentiment shared by many who witnessed Rodriguez's unwavering dedication.

Torre said:

“Alex is a big boy, and I know how serious he takes his baseball”

Throughout his career, Rodriguez's statistics spoke volumes about his abilities. He consistently showcased his power-hitting prowess, with impressive home run totals and RBIs.

His on-base percentage and batting average were equally impressive, solidifying his reputation as one of the game's most formidable players.
