Alex Rodriguez signed a 10-year, $252 million
contract with the Texas Rangers in 2000, making him the
highest-salaried player in professional sports history. Rodriguez
played his first major league baseball game at age 18 and became
the starting shortstop for the Seattle Mariners at age 20.
Nicknamed "A-Rod," he hit .358 with 36 homers in 1996, his first
full season in the majors. His power, defensive skills, charisma
and fan-friendly Hispanic heritage made him an attractive free
agent after the 2000 season, and Texas owner Tom Hicks signed
Rodriguez to the unprecedented $252 million deal.
Rodriguez played well for the Rangers (winning the
American League MVP award in 2003), but the team finished last in its
division for three straight years, and some felt that Rodriguez's
mammoth contract had hobbled the team.
In 2004 Rodriguez was traded to the New York
Yankees, where he moved to third base to play alongside Yankee
shortstop Derek Jeter. Rodriguez hit his 500th home run on 4 August
2007, becoming (at 32) the youngest player to reach that number in
major league history.
