Find out how the Yankees' likely full-time DH in 2016 has a connection to a man who played on the very first team in the history of the franchise.
Alex Rodriguez has been connected to many things during his long, sometimes troublesome career: home run milestones, record contracts, steroids, various celebrities in the gossip columns, etc. Along the way, he's had the opportunity to play alongside and under some all-time baseball greats such as Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera, Ken Griffey Jr. and Randy Johnson.
However, thanks to a little digging, I've discovered that the former top overall draft pick has another fascinating connection.
