“When the Time Is Right” – Baseball Icon Alex Rodriguez Talks About Following in the Footsteps of Frenemy Derek Jeter

Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter are two of the biggest names in sports. While it is not fair to compare them, there are some areas where one has won over the other. Despite their differences, both players are considered to be among the greatest ballplayers of all time. They both helped the New York Yankees win championships, and they both left a lasting legacy on the game of baseball.

When looking at their careers, Rodriguez and Jeter have won numerous accolades to their name. However, in this aspect, Jeter took the win. He did so by getting the most prestigious of accolades, the National Baseball Hall of Fame Induction. But this is just one of the many things that this duo has achieved in their lives. And now, most recently, the wealthiest ever retired baseball player, Alex Rodriguez, spoke of following in the footsteps of his frenemy, Captain Clutch Derek Jeter. 

How is Alex Rodriguez about to follow in Derek Jeter’s footsteps?

Having been on the receiving end of winning 5 World Series, being an All-Star 14 times, multiple Silver Slugger and Gold Glove Awards, and many others, Derek Jeter earned the title of being a legend of the game. Jeter spent almost all of his childhood dreaming and working hard to play for the New York Yankees. Notably, not only did he fulfilled his dream, but he did so with flying colors. Hence, a few documentaries have been made to honor the legacy of the 5x World Champ, who constantly aimed toward perfection.

Conversely, despite having a controversial career, Alex Rodriguez reached heights in the sports world that not many could. Hence, there have been reports of A-Rod following in the footsteps of Derek and making a documentary about his life. However, Rodriguez seems to be having a slightly different take on the matter. Recently, Forbes reported that, according to Alex, there’s “Nothing to report.” 

Furthermore, the former Yankee added, “We’ve been approached by pretty much everyone with interest about telling my story. I think when the time is right I’ll report something, but nothing to report right now.” From the looks of it, a documentary about Alex’s life might not be in the works right now. But it is also not out of the picture. 

What is A-Rod up to these days?

Not long ago, Alex revealed that a rather routine visit to his dentist turned out to be a nightmare for him. It’s because the former athlete got diagnosed with early-stage gum disease. 

Hence, at this time, health is Alex’s one of the top priorities right now. Therefore, he might get to making his documentary a little bit later down the road.
