If there’s anyone to blame for ruining Alex Rodriguez’s baseball legacy, it’s only Alex Rodriguez himself. Despite being one of the best ballplayers in the game, A-Rod dishonored himself and his legacy by using PEDs. The former New York Yankees star has repeatedly admitted he made a huge mistake using steroids.
But it was too late when A-Rod realized his mistake. Not only did he face a one-year ban from MLB, but Alex Rodriguez also ruined the legacy he built over two decades. The MLB suspension also forced him into early retirement. However, it didn’t take A-Rod to succeed in his post-retirement career.

The most remarkable thing about A-Rod is that he knows how to correct his mistakes and move on from the past. Speaking of the same, his ex-fiancée Jennifer Lopez once praised the Yankees legend for his positive attitude.

In an exclusive interview with Vanity Fair in 2017, Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez spoke in detail about their personal lives. First, A-Rod admitted his mistake of taking steroids and how he struggled to get off of it. And J.Lo, being a good partner, praised her then-boyfriend for handling things with ease.
She appreciated A-rod for being strong enough to recover from his mistakes. Notably, after retiring from baseball, A-Rod built a new legacy in his post-retirement career.

“The most impressive thing for me was how he picked himself up and took this opportunity to become a better person,” she says. “The toughest times prove who you are. This is what I love and admire the most about Alex. He doesn’t let anything beat him. It just comes back stronger.
Considering the kind of understanding they had for each other, hardly anyone expected the two to end their relationship so soon. Notably, A-Rod started dating J.Lo in 2017 and four years later, in 2021, they called off.
