Gym Buddies
Even though Rodriguez was off the baseball field, he still spent a lot of time in his other favorite place—the gym!
And in typical A-Rod style, he hooked up with another athletic beauty that he met there, none other than fitness model Erin Simmons. In 2015, they were spotted at a charity gala and looking pretty loved up.
Their dalliance didn’t seem to last too long, but they certainly looked good together!
But once again, A-Rod’s career was about to take center stage over his personal life.
Return to Form
By this time, you could be forgiven for thinking that Alex Rodriguez had already had an amazing and full career, and now was the time for him to bow out and take his retirement on a high.
But for A-Rod, his passion for baseball was still strong and important to him, and so in 2015 he returned once again to the field.
And his return was a smash hit—beating Willie Mays’ record when he slugged career home run No. 661, and becoming the second player in history to compile 2,000 career RBIs.
