?All Eyes on LA Now? – $350 Million Man Alex Rodriguez Wins the Hearts of Young Fans Ahead of the Timberwolves Game Against the Lakers

In the 2022-23 season, the Timberwolves stand at 2nd in the Northwest Conference. They’re doing so with 42 wins and 40 losses. The Wolves are now set to go against one of the most famous and strongest teams in the NBA, the LA Lakers. Moments before that, the former Yankee won the hearts of the young fans with an adorable gesture.?

After retiring from the big league, business magnate Alex Rodriguez tried to buy MLB’s New York Mets. Shortly after his Mets’ deal failed, A-Rod went ahead and bought the NBA’s Timberwolves and WNBA’s Lynx. Since then, Rodriguez has been a devoted owner, supporting his team through every phase. After A-Rod took ownership with billionaire Marc Lore in the 2021-22 season, the Timberwolves entered the playoffs for the first time since the 2018-19 season.?

During his lengthy career in MLB, despite making some of the biggest mistakes, A-Rod remained one of the best ever to step foot on the diamond. Hence, he remained popular throughout his baseball career, and his fame only increased after retirement. It was courtesy of his business acumen and the experience he gained as an athlete.?
