One of the prime examples of his friendliness comes in his latest IG story posted for 23 YO Garrett Wilson.
On Wilson’s special day, A-Rod took to his IG handle to deliver a heartfelt message to the youngster. His emotions were aptly conveyed in a three-letter message, “HBD” as Rodgers posted a picture with the man who’s as old as his career.
