Opinion: Alex Rodriguez Should Finish The Season

This post was written on August 8th—Yesterday a 7th, not even close to “a day of infamy,” yet significantly, Alex Rodriguez announced his retirement from baseball.

As of now he will play once more that on Friday night in a home game for his current team, the New York Yankees vs the Tampa Bay Rays.

In that scenario which has been announced, unless Mr. Rodriguez as a billion to one shot, ties a major league record and hits 4 home runs, he will not become the fourth big league player to hit as many as 700 home runs (Barry Bonds, Henry Aaron and George “Babe” Ruth are the only players to achieve that feat).

It is for that and other reasons, I believe Mr. Rodriguez should have stayed on the team, in baseball especially with the rosters expanding in three plus weeks. Will he join another team?
