From the publisher

Alex Rodriguez is the one of the most electrifying baseball players to hit the diamond in recent years. Drafted right out of high school, he suffered few of the adjustment problems that typically plague young players. Instead, he has shown the world what it means to be a superstar, not just on the field but in life. His outstanding play with the Seattle Mariners helped send that team to post-season playoff games year after year. Yet A-Rod never lets success and fame go to his head. Alex Rodriguez’s commitment to the game and sportsmanship has made him respected and admired by fellow players and fans the world over. This new biography traces Alex’s career from the Seattle Mariners to his new home with the Texas Rangers.
