Description

Here is a bobble head figure of Alex Rodriguez wearing a Tacoma Rainiers white home uniform. Rodriguez briefly played for the Rainiers and went onto an all-star career in the major leagues, playing for the Seattle Mariners, Texas Rangers, and New York Yankees. The Mariners selected Rodriguez first overall in the 1993 MLB draft and he debuted in the major leagues the next year at the young age of 18 and briefly returned to the minor leagues. He was named the league MVP in 2005 and 2007. In 2007, he became the youngest player to hit 500 home runs in a career. The photo was a promotional item for the Tacoma Family Chiropractic.
