Alex Rodriguez wants to be in Monument Park.
But at the very least, he wishes the Yankees had at least not given his No. 13 jersey to one of the biggest Pinstripes flops ever in Joey Gallo.
When the Yankees acquired Gallo from Texas during the 2021 season, they allowed him to wear No. 13 as he had during his Rangers years. Rodriguez, who now serves as an analyst for Fox and ESPN, hopes that his jersey will be immortalized in Monument Park one day.“Of course, it bothers me,” Rodriguez said. “It’s less about bother, but of course it would be nice to be recognized in one of the coolest places to be in Yankee history, but that’s not my decision.”
Rodriguez also won three MVPs – in 2003, 2005, 2007 – and was one of the best players in the sport during his earlier years in the Bronx.Evan Roberts floated a theory that Rodriguez’s chances of being honored will go up if the Yankees’ 14-year title drought continues since it will make 2009 all the more memorable, but Rodriguez would prefer that not be why it happens.
