New York Yankees great Alex Rodriguez doesn't understand why the franchise he spent 12 seasons with hasn't retired his No. 13 yet, admitting that it bothers him.
From 2004 through 2016, Alex Rodriguez was a cornerstone of the New York Yankees, earning multiple All-Star appearances and playing a big role in their 2009 World Series victory. His accomplishments with the team – 351 home runs, ranking sixth in franchise history – give him an argument to have his No. 13 retired among the illustrious group that sits in Monument Park at Yankee Stadium today.
When Rodriguez finally ended his 22-year career, 12 of which were with the Yankees, the Bombers didn't have anyone using his No. 13 until Gallo came along via a trade with the Texas Rangers during the 2021 campaign. In 140 games, Gallo hit a putrid .159/.291/.368 with 194 strikeouts, 25 homers and 46 RBI.
