“I Couldn’t Afford..” – $350Million Worth Alex ‘A-Rod’ Rodriguez Got Addicted to This $7 Item Despite His Childhood Struggles, Thanks to the New York Yankees

Today, Alex ‘A-Rod’ Rodriguez is one of the richest athletes in the world. Through success in the ballpark, lucrative business ventures, and a strong media presence, including his own podcast, A-Rod became a massive sensation in the celebrity world of North America. In total, the star slugger overcame a lot of trouble and, in a very real-life essence, symbolized the true American dream.

Born in a very humble setting, A-Rod’s father abandoned his family during the early days. Powering through, his mother took the responsibility of bringing up the family. A-Rod, after entering the realm of baseball, built his fandom, success, and eventual empire brick by brick.

What $7 item was Alex ‘A-Rod’ Rodriguez addicted to?

Markedly, A-Rod’s net worth is $350 million. In an interview with GQ Sports, he talked about ten things he can’t live without. During this, A-Rod brings up his sunglasses and consumes the audience with an interesting story around it.

While talking about being able to afford sunglasses, A-Rod said, “As a young lad growing up in Miami, I never wore sunglasses. One, because I didn’t really need them. Two, I couldn’t afford them.” A-Rod continued to relate sunglasses as his new uniform after the Pinstripes. He said, “My uniform used to be pinstripes. Now, my uniform is sunglasses.”

Finally, A-Rod talked about budgeting for the sunglasses. He said, “Any time I have sunglasses that cost more than $200, within 48 hours, I feel like I lose them. If I buy sunglasses at 7/11 for seven bucks, I can have them for four years. I try to lose them, they pop up in my face. I can’t lose them, I wish they were reversed. These are free ’cause they sent ’em to me, and they’re very expensive.”

A-Rod’s disgraced but successful MLB career

Alex ‘A-Rod’ Rodriguez, since his debut in 1994, took the world of baseball by storm. He started with the Seattle Mariners, moved to the Texas Rangers in 2001, and finally, for the most fruitful fragment of his career, he reached the New York Yankees in 2004. A-Rod’s list of achievements in the ballpark goes on and on and on.

From 14 All-Star appearances to ten Silver Slugger and two Golden Glove awards, A-Rod has been awarded almost everything the sport has to offer. He also won the World Championship in 2009. Moreover, he’s also won four American League Hank Aaron Awards, three AL MVP awards, and led the homer list for five seasons.

While A-Rod has everything, the one thing he doesn’t have is a Hall of Fame induction. With his achievements, he should’ve walked into any Hall of Fame, but his biogenesis scandal tainted his name. And as a result, he might never make it to the Hall.
