For the first time in ten seasons, the Yankees played without Alex Rodriguez last year. A-Rod was suspended the entire 2014 season due to his ties to Biogenesis, and for the most part he stayed out of the spotlight. Every few weeks some photos of him attending a college football game or something like that popped up, but that’s all. Last year was a quiet year for A-Rod.
The 2015 season was much different. Rodriguez returned to the Yankees and no one knew what to expect out of him, both on and off the field.
