06/07/23 • 60 min
Alex Rodriguez is one of the most polarizing figures in MLB history, but regardless of what you think of him, there’s no denying that he is one of the best to ever do it. This week, Jake got to sit down with the 14x All-Star to talk about what statistic he’s the proudest of from his career, the importance of fundamentals, his unlikely appreciation of the sac bunt, the Red-Sox-Yankees rivalry, taking the subway to Yankee Stadium and more. Then, Jake and Jordan break down the interview and discuss the entire experience of meeting with a figure of A-Rod’s magnitude. Plus, we can't ignore - Jordan gives his report on the debut of super prospect Elly De La Cruz.
Alex Rodriguez is partnering with OraPharma to help fight gum disease by raising awareness about this chronic, misunderstood, and underdiagnosed disease. According to the American Dental Association, gum disease affects nearly half of Americans over 30 and is more common in our Latino community.
