Yesterday, in the world of baseball we saw a very important star returning back to the baseball field. Yesterday, we got to see a returning star hit the field since his hip surgery in January, Alex Rodriguez had his struggles since, not being able to play this regular season, but he was hopeing after this game he could return back to the Yankees and be ready to play in 3 to 4 weeks. (July 22nd). Rodriguez for the next 4 weeks will be playing with the South Carolina River Dogs and last night, he show cased how his performance will help the Yankees win he returns to the team. Last night Rodriguez would go hit less in two at bats during his first game coming off of surgery in January.
Along with this surprising news there were a lot of interesting match-ups on the Major League end of baseball. Since the Major League All-star Game is just a few days away, every team and every player is/was trying make there last strides before the all-star break.
