Alex Rodriguez wants to see more passionate baseball players in the league.
And recently, the retired MLB player met a promising candidate. In a video posted on his Instagram Feb. 27, the former New York Yankees hitter shared a sweet interaction with a young baseball player who’s been perfecting his home run skills.
The heartwarming clip sees Alex—who shares daughters Natasha Alexander, 20, and Ella Alexander, 16, with ex-wife Cynthia Scurtis—having lunch before the young fan approaches him with an iPad. He said the player, fittingly dressed in his team’s dark blue jersey, wanted to “show him his highlights” and “give him tips on his swing.”
The two then bonded over the young player’s reel. Alex proudly fist bumped him as he made an impressive home run, and even likened the young boy to current Yankees superstar, Aaron Judge. A-Rod then asked him if he wanted to be a future player on his former team, to which the fan excitedly nodded his head ‘yes.’
