One player that was particularly happy in the postgame clubhouse celebration Friday was Alex Rodriguez.

This was following the Yankees and Blue Jays series where the Yankees had a 3.5 game deficit after Sunday’s contest.

Alex Rodriguez has now hit a home run in his teens, 20s, 30s and 40s.

Rodriguez doubled in the sixth inning of Sunday’s game against the Boston Red Sox to record his 3,020th hit. They remained in last place in the AL East, but they closed to 5½ games out in the division.

The Yankees have agreed to donate $150,000 to Pitch In For Baseball, a charity chosen by Hample that donates baseball equipment to those in need.

Seated next to Rodriguez during a news conference celebrating the deal, Hample reached into his backpack and pulled out a ziploc bag with the authenticated ball in it. He took the ball out of the baggie and he and A-Rod together held it up for photographers.
