A-Rod sinks half-court shot, wins $10K for fan
Written by I Dig Sports
Former Major League Baseball star Alex Rodriguez showed his skill on the hardwood Sunday, making a half-court shot to win a Bucknell student $10,000.
The 14-time All-Star was invited to take the shot during halftime of Bucknell's 84-53 win over Army. The 49-year-old tossed a high-arching shot that banked off the backboard and through the hoop, setting off a celebration with students.
The three-time MVP was at Bucknell to speak about his company Jump Platforms, which he founded with two other entrepreneurs, Jordy Leiser and Marc Lore. Leiser is a Bucknell trustee.
Rodriguez hit 696 career homers with the Seattle Mariners, Texas Rangers and New York Yankees. He is trying to purchase a majority stake in the Minnesota Timberwolves with Lore.
