13 incredible stats from A-Rod's career

Alex Rodriguez's remarkable 22-year career, which ostensibly ended Friday in the Bronx, produced a litany of numbers and figures that even casual fans have no problem rattling off. He went first overall in 1993. He signed for $252 million in 2001. He's got 696 home runs, good for fourth all-time.

There are roughly a billion more that are just as compelling. So with Rodriguez now set to transition from the New York Yankees' part-time DH into an advisory role, let's look back at 13 incredible stats from his two-plus decades in the big leagues.

91 - Rodriguez's JAWS total - his career WAR averaged with his seven-year peak WAR (a formula devised by Jay Jaffe to compare a player's HOF worthiness to those already enshrined at his position) - which trails only Honus Wagner for the best-ever mark among shortstops.

.358 - Batting average in 1996, his first full season in the big leagues, which broke Ty Cobb's 1907 record for average by a player in his age-20 season (.350). That year, Rodriguez managed a 1.045 OPS - the second-highest of his career - and finished second in AL MVP voting to Juan Gonzalez.

7.9 - WAR total from 1998, when Rodriguez, at age 22, became just the third player ever to smack at least 40 homers and steal at least 40 bases in the same season. He ended up finishing ninth in American League MVP voting.

281 - Home runs from 1998 through 2003, an average of 47 per season. Over that six-year span, no other shortstop hit more than 154 homers.

7.68 - Win probability added - a metric that credits or debits a player for the positive or negative impact his plate appearances have on his team's win expectancy - in 2007, the highest in the league and the 10th-best single-season mark since Rodriguez made his Yankees debut 12 years ago.

122 - Runs scored per season from 1996 through 2008, during which Rodriguez never crossed the plate fewer than 100 times in a single campaign - a function of his .392 on-base percentage over that 13-year span.

1.308 - OPS in the 2009 playoffs, wherein the then-33-year-old went 19-for-52 (.365) with six home runs, five doubles, and a pair of stolen bases to lift the Yankees to their 27th (and most recent) World Series championship.

.427 - OPS in his 22 postseason games since 2009.

14 - Seasons with at least 30 homers and 100 runs batted in, more than any other player in MLB history. Babe Ruth, Jimmie Foxx, and Manny Ramirez each had a dozen such seasons, and only five other players - Barry Bonds, Albert Pujols, Rafael Palmeiro, Hank Aaron, and Lou Gehrig - reached both those plateaus in the same year more than nine times.

211 - Suspension games served for his role in the Biogenesis scandal, making Rodriguez the recipient of the longest non-lifetime suspension in MLB history.

33 - Home runs in 2015, the fourth-most ever by a player in his age-39 season, after Barry Bonds (45), David Ortiz (37), and Steve Finley (36).

62 - Career multi-homer games, tying him with Hank Aaron for the sixth-most in history. Only Babe Ruth, Barry Bonds, Sammy Sosa, Mark McGwire, and Willie Mays have more than Rodriguez, whose last multi-homer game came July 25, 2015, when he went deep three times in Minnesota.

.340 - Lifetime batting average in 256 at-bats with the bases loaded. Rodriguez, who holds the all-time record for grand slams (25), managed a 1.082 OPS with the sacks juiced, his top mark of the eight base-runner states.
