2016 – As announced a week earlier, Alex Rodriguez plays his final game for the Yankees today, going 1 for 4 with a 1st-inning RBI double off Chris Archer of the Rays in a 6 – 3 Yankees win. The Yankees indulge him by letting him play at his old position, third base, in the 9th; he then leaves the game under the crowd’s applause after one out, ending his career only 4 homers short of 700, but done as a player at 41.
