Alex Rodriguez: On Fame, Failure, Comebacks and His Eventual Legacy | Undeniable with Joe Buck

At one time the Mariners had 3 of the greatest players of all time on their team, A. Rod, Griffrey Jr. and Randy Johnson. Yet none of them were still there when 2001 Mariners had one of the best seasons in baseball history. Imagine if they still had those 3 guys.

I am curious why Alex didn't stay with a team to hit 4 more Home Runs, to join 700 club. He retired in May. He could have done it.

[@usaveteran-retired6464]

A-Rod neglected to mention that he also received the advice to take the 200-plus game suspension from MLB from his first MLB Manager ever, the great Lou Piniella. By the way, Mr. Piniella should have gotten the ONE MORE VOTE necessary to be inducted into Cooperstown/ Baseball Hall Of Fame this Summer! Shame on Alex Rodriguez AND The Veterans Committee for Cooperstown!

[@mathewamschler7604]

Rodriguez was 4th on the home run list until Pujols passed him and went on to have 703 career home runs

[@mikem5852]

When was this recorded?

[@josegrullon024]

Ppl say Ken Griffey Jr had the best swing. But for me Alex holds that crown. Add the high leg kick increased batting average. Lower the kick increased power. It was the best swing ive ever seen.

[@thomaslemon3971]

He and Bonds both talk about how they “swing down.” They don’t drop the back shoulder and it’s the follow-through that (sometimes) lifts the ball in the air. With that technique, it’s either hitting the warning track or going over it. So much power in a compact swing. It’s not the frickin steroids, it’s TALENT!

[@Gregvidz00]

Since when is Albert Pujols (703 home runs) not part of the most home runs list in baseball. Ranks 4th all time ahead of Arod. Completely left him out. WTF!! There’s no way this interview came out two months ago.

I'm wondering how old this is too his final season was 2016 and Pujols was 22 right? So this obviously somewhere between 2016 and 2022

[@tommyriam8320]

19:45 Why do they(Buck & Rodriguez) both insist on shaving a year from his age? He turned *21* (completed 21 full years) in July of 1996..I mean, it's still great but he was nearly 4 months into his 22 year on earth by the end of the 1996 season when the "MVP" voting took place.

From looking at this high school video, he was a freak of an athlete. Rumor has it he gained about 30 pounds of muscle from sophomore to junior year of high school and gained enormous power to become a power hitter. In other words, he has been juicing since high school.

[@SolidHang]

I always liked watching A-rod play. For me he was must see tv. It’s interesting to me Alex Rodriguez is the only guy to get caught and produce at an all star level after words. All else washed out. Proved he didn’t need it. He was mentally inadequate and thought he needed steroids. Is there anyone else?

[@silentcapture1994]

Listen to what he said...........he was injured and was trying to come back. I don't fault guys for taking roids to heal from injury over the course of a 162 game season. People miss the point of these guys taking roids, for most of them, it wasn't about gaining an advantage, it was about getting or staying healthy enough to play. With that being said, Sammy, Mark, especially Jose and Barry, I think more then likely it was done to gain an advantage though.
