Product Description
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 has suffered none of the adjustment problems that typically plague young players. On the contrary, 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 never has A-Rod let 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 latest position with the Texas Rangers. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

This review is from: On the Field with... Alex Rodriguez (Paperback)

My son, Kevin (going into 3rd grade) had to do a summer reading project and he chose his favorite person, Alex Rodriguez. The book was very well written and on the reading level he needed. There were plenty of great pictures and he learned a lot about his hero!
