Alex vs ARod

Drafted first overall in the 1993 Major League Baseball draft, 18-year-old Alex Rodriguez quickly rises to stardom as a shortstop with the Seattle Mariners. Seven years later, his transformation into one of the most polarizing figures in sports begins when he signs a controversial, record-breaking contract with the Texas Rangers.

In 2013, a newspaper exposé once again links Alex Rodriguez to performance-enhancing drugs, triggering Major League Baseballs longest-ever PED suspension and a storm of public hostility. Rodriguez eventually returns to the Yankees with a renewed mindset, setting the stage for a deeper reckoning with his past and a more grounded view of his future.
