Alex Rodriguez turns 41 years old Wednesday. His six career home runs on his birthday are the most in major league history.
So far, Rodriguez has homered on his 21st, 26th, 27th, 29th and 40th birthdays (multiple home runs on July 27, 2002), but there has not been much to celebrate about Rodriguez’s play since he turned 40.
Rodriguez has a .207 batting average and a .670 OPS since homering on his birthday last season. Out of 176 players with at least 400 at-bats since the start of play on July 28, 2015, Rodriguez ranks 175th in batting average and 156th in OPS.
