Wayne Kyle Spitzer Biografía y Hechos

Alexander Emmanuel Rodríguez Navarro (Nueva York, 27 de julio de 1975), conocido como Álex Rodríguez, es un exbeisbolista profesional estadounidense de ascendencia dominicana que jugaba en las posiciones de campocorto y tercera base. Desarrolló su carrera en los Seattle Mariners, los Texas Rangers y los New York Yankees de las Grandes Ligas de Béisbol (MLB). Rodríguez es considerado uno de los mejores jugadores de béisbol de todos los tiempos, y ha declarado que se siente orgulloso de sus raíces dominicanas [1]​[2]​[3]​ Es el jugador más joven en conectar 500 homeruns, rompiendo el récord establecido por Jimmie Foxx en 1939, y el más joven en llegar a los 600, superando el récord de Babe Ruth durante un año. Durante 14 temporadas empujó 100 más carreras, más que cualquier otro jugador en la historia. El 24 de septiembre de 2010, Alex conectó dos homeruns, superando la marca de Sammy Sosa de 609 homeruns, y convirtiéndose en el líder de todos los tiempos en homeruns para un jugador de ascendencia hispana.[4]​ En diciembre de 2007, Rodríguez y los Yankees acordaron un contrato de 10 años por $276 millones de dólares. Este contrato fue el mayor en la historia del béisbol (rompiendo su récord anterior de $252 millones de dólares).[5]​ Ya para la temporada de 2015 Rodríguez tuvo un gran regreso conectando 33 cuadrangulares y llegando a los 3,000 hits en su carrera con un jonrón hacia el jardín derecho frente a los envíos del pitcher derecho de Detroit Tigers Justin Verlander. Es uno de los jugadores con los números más redondos de la historia habiendo acumulado más de 3000 hits, más de 2000 carreras anotadas, más de 2000 carreras empujadas y más de 690 homeruns. El domingo 7 de agosto de 2016, Rodríguez anunció su retiro del béisbol en una conferencia de prensa, a pesar de tener contrato vigente para la temporada del 2017, con New York Yankees, Su bajo porcentaje de bateo así como las lesiones lo obligaron a tomar esta decisión. El 12 de agosto de 2016, Alex Rodríguez jugó su último partido en las Grandes Ligas del béisbol frente a los Tampa Bay Rays, conectando un extra base en la primera entrada. Al finalizar el partido fue despedido por una gran ovación del público y sus compañeros de equipo. No pudo llegar a los 700 jonrones como era su deseo. Terminó su carrera con 696 jonrones siendo, en ese momento, el cuarto jonronero de todos los tiempos detrás de Barry Bonds, Hank Aaron, Babe Ruth. Ahora es el quinto jonronero de todos los tiempos detrás de los ya mencionados y del dominicano Albert Pujols. Biografía Nació en el barrio de Washington Heights de Nueva York proveniente de una familia dominicana. Cuando tenía 1 año, se mudaron a la República Dominicana, luego años más tarde a Miami, Florida. Los jugadores favoritos de Rodríguez cuando era pequeño eran Keith Hernández primera base de los St Louis Cardinals y de los New York Mets, Dale Murphy, de Atlanta Braves y Cal Ripken, Jr. de Baltimore Orioles. Su equipo favorito eran los New York Mets.[6]​ Carrera MLB Seattle Mariners Fue reclutado en el primer grupo de los Marineros de Seattle en 1993. por Roger Jongewaard quien lo sacó del instituto. En 1994, Rodríguez jugó en la filial AAA de Seattle, Calgary Cannons. En 32 partidos, dio 37 hits en 119 turnos al bate para un promedio de bateo de.311. También compiló seis homeruns y 21 carreras impulsadas. Rodríguez ascendió rápidamente a través de la organización de los Marineros, e hizo su debut en Grandes Ligas como el shortstop titular el 8 de julio de 1994, en Boston a los 18 años de edad. Fue el tercer shortstop de 18 años de edad en jugar en las mayores desde 1900. Además fue el primer beisbolista de 18 años de edad en los últimos diez años, y el jugador más joven de la posición en la historia de Seattle. Su primer gran éxito en las mayores fue un sencillo al lanzador dominicano Sergio Valdez el 9 de julio en el Fenway Park. La primera campaña de Rodríguez en Grandes Ligas solo duró un mes; la temporada fue interrumpida por la huelga de la Major League Baseball en 1994. Rodríguez pasó la mayor parte de 1995 entre los Marineros y su club de AAA, los Tacoma Rainiers.[7]​ Conectó su primer jonrón en las mayores al lanzador Tom Gordon de Kansas City el 12 de junio. Rodríguez se unió al roster oficial de la Liga Mayor de forma permanente en agosto, y tuvo su primer juego de postemporada, aunque en solo dos turnos al bate. Una vez más, fue el jugador más joven en las Grandes Ligas. 1996: Salto al estrellato Al año siguiente, Rodríguez asumió el puesto regular de torpedero de los Marineros y emergió como una estrella, bateando 36 jonrones, impulsando 123 carreras, y liderando la Liga Americana con un promedio de bateo de.358, el más alto para un bateador derecho de la liga desde que Joe DiMaggio bateó.381 en 1939 y el tercero más alta para un campocorto del 21 años, fue el tercer líder en bateo más joven detrás de Al Kaline (20 años) en 1955 y Ty Cobb (20 años) en 1907, y el 3.er jugador más joven en la historia con 35 jonrones. También fue el primer torpedero de las Grandes Ligas en ganar un título de bateo desde 1960, y el primero en la Liga Americana desde 1944, ya con 20 años y 11 meses, fue el SS más joven en toda la historia de la MLB en participar en un Juego de Estrellas. También lideró la Liga Americana en carreras anotadas (141), bases totales (379) y dobles (54) y figura entre los líderes de la liga en hits (2.º, con 215), hits de extra base (2.º con 91), juegos multi-hit (tercero con 65), slugging (4.º con.631), carreras impulsadas (8.º con 123), y en porcentaje de embasarse (8.º con.414). Rodríguez tuvo el récord más alto para un campocorto en carreras, hits, dobles, hits de extra base, y slugging, y empató en bases más total, y estableció un récord en Seattle en promedio, carreras, hits, dobles y total de bases, en una temporada que los analistas estadísticos consideran el mejor año de todos los tiempos para un SS.[8]​ Fue seleccionado por Sporting News y Associated Press como Major League Player of the Year (Jugador de Grandes Ligas del Año), y estuvo a punto de convertirse en el más joven MVP (Jugador Más Valioso) en la historia del béisbol, terminando segundo después de Juan González en una de las elecciones más polémicas para MVP en los últimos tiempos.[9]​ Rodríguez finalizó con tres puntos menos que González (290-287), siendo la segunda competencia más cerrada para elegir al Jugador Más Valioso en la historia de la MLB. 1997-99 En 1997, los números de Rodríguez cayeron un poco, ya que pegó 23 jonrones con 84 carreras impulsadas y un promedio de bateo de.300 ese año. Bateó un hit for the cycle (dio sencillo, doble, triple y jonrón en el mismo juego) el 5 de junio en Detroit, convirtiéndose en el segundo beisbolista de los Marineros en hacer la hazaña, ya a los 21 años y 10 meses, fue el quinto jugador más joven en la historia en hacerlo. Fue elegido por los fanáticos para ser el campocorto inicial en el Juego de Estrellas para el equipo de la Liga Am.... Descubre los libros populares de Wayne Kyle Spitzer.
