Major League Baseball is one of the oldest sports leagues in the history of America. The league came into existence in 1903. Since then, MLB has produced thousands of great baseball players. But some stood out from the rest. Such players include Babe Ruth, Roger Maris, Hank Aaron, Reggie Jackson, Ken Griffey Jr., Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez, and many more. Captain Clutch and A-Rod might not be on the same level as other MLB greats, but they sure were two of the best players the league has ever seen.

Recently, pro athletes from different sports and entertainment stars came together for Mr. October Foundation Celebrity Golf Classic. Since it was a star-studded event, renowned rapper 50 Cent was left amazed by the iconic presence of the former Yankees duo of Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter. Here is what he said!

50 Cent left flabbergasted by the modern MLB greats!

Mr. October, aka Hall of Famer Reggie Jackson, got this nickname for his clutch hitting and tremendous play during the postseason when he played for the Bronx Bombers and Oakland Athletics. Captain Clutch Derek Jeter, being who he is, helped his team win five World Series and received 99.7% votes in the first year on the ballot of HOF. Whereas Alex Rodriguez, despite making mistakes in his MLB career, no one can deny his domination at the plate.

The rapper was indeed at the right place at the right time, as watching the MLB greats in a single frame is a rare phenomenon.

What are some of the accomplishments of Reggie Jackson, Derek Jeter, and Alex Rodriguez?

Mr. October also won five World Series. But unlike Captain Clutch, he won three Fall Classics while playing for the Athletics, only two with the New York Yankees. Jeter had two other similarities with Mr. October as well. Jeter, like Jackson, had been an all-star player fourteen times. And he was also inducted into Cooperstown in his first year on the ballot.
