Last night was the last time we will ever see Alex Rodriguez suit up in a MLB uniform. It's weird to think that we will never hear about him again. I know I always thought that he would end up being the Homerun King, at least part of me was always hoping that he would. Unfortunately due to steroids and bad health and the lack of production he finally said goodbye last night. Now he didn't get the treatment that the likes of Jeter or Rivera got. No, his was cut short due to weather. And if you think about it, that's pretty much how his career has been. Cut short due to some unfortunate circumstance. But that never took away the fun that this game gave him and the memories that he gave us as fans. So here is a handpicked top 10 list of Alex Rodriguez greatest moments. (By the way half of these are from the Yankees so to forewarn you.)

In elementary school, I started taking mandatory Spanish classes, which I did well in because of my knowledge of Portuguese. Then in high school, on top of taking Spanish, I also started taking French. Now, in college, already fluent in English and Portuguese, I'm in the process of becoming fluent in Spanish, and I have a standard high school level understanding of French.

I am without a doubt one of those people who refuses to start decorating for Christmas or listen to Christmas music until after Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, Thanksgiving has become an underrated holiday over the years. You barely see any Thanksgiving decorations in stores; it's like they skip right from Halloween to Christmas.
