Some MLB fans forget that Alex Rodriguez started his career with the Seattle Mariners and was actually the #1 overall pick in the 1993 MLB draft. Most people only remember A-Rod as the Yankee third baseman probably because he doesn’t really associate himself with the M’s very much. Granted he did spend 12 years in New York.
But yesterday, A-Rod shared a touching throwback Thursday post to highlight his time in Seattle as a young player and paid tribute to Dave Niehaus.
