By the end of his career, Arod had clearly changed as a person. He wanted to be better. I’ll never forget that 2015 swan song year he had. All the young players rallying around him. He became everything he always wanted to be to us.

I don't care what any of you haters say. Alex Rodriguez was hands down, the best baseball talent to ever play the game. People are butt hurt b/c he made millions of dollars. A-Rod has been my favorite player of all time. I remember watching him in Seattle when I was just 7 or 8. At 24, he is still my favorite. I appreciate everything he did for the game and I will miss watching him play. A-Rod, you're the man!

A-rod is a strong humble man it was humiliating for him to sit on that bench not being able to play yet he turned the other cheek and was wise while Girardi and the Yankee organization shamed him and humiliated him to the last point, he has to retire now wanting to achieve 700 homers but it was basically impossible with this team dont get me wrong i love the Yankees but what they did to Alex was unacceptable, but everyone saw what a strong and positive man he was, u CANNOT say that he isn't.

fact is every single team has had someone that used steroids, nobody is innocent. that being said A Rod was a PoS person in general, and he was a cheater. He was also one of the greatest players in the history of the game. Yes Roids help you play better, and recover from injuries faster. But you dont just take roids and then wake up the next day and blast over 600 hrs because of that. He still had talent and still had to put in effort and time to practise and become the player he was. The last 20 or so years have been plagued with Roid abuse and countless greats have taken roids such as Bonds, McGuire, Sosa, Palmero.

Its a "Yankees Retirement" for a reason... he's remaining in the the Yankee Organization as a mentor.. no need for him to mention a different organization. That is like Kobe Bryant thanking the team that drafted him that he never even played for.

+JogaBonitoOfFifa WRONG! This is a retirement of his baseball career, not just his Yankees career. Did you forget he was drafted by and played for Seattle from 1994-2000, 4 of those years as an AL All Star? You make a comparison to Kobe, who was drafted by the Hornets, but never played for them. That comparison is so beyond dumb, it's not even worth a laugh. #GetYourFactsStraightBeforeYouComment

Yes.. I understand the fact that he played for them and was an All-Star. Clearly he did not feel it was necessary to mention them as he sees himself as a Pinstripe.
