Alex Rodriguez is still showing athletic prowess in his post-playing days.
While speaking at a Bucknell Forum special event on Sunday, Rodriguez had the chance to win $10,000 for a Bucknell student by making a half-court shot. Sure enough, Rodriguez did just that, banking a shot in and sending the arena into a frenzy before celebrating with the Bucknell faithful.
After the shot, Rodriguez celebrated with the student, who is from Philadelphia.
"We've converted him from a Phillies fan to a Yankee fan," said Rodriguez, who is a majority owner of the NBA’s Minnesota Timberwolves and the WNBA’s Minnesota Lynx.
The student said he was going to use the funds to "help my parents pay for my tuition."
That's putting the "buck" in Bucknell.
Said A-Rod: "That is a beautiful thing. Parents, you're welcome. You should be Yankees fans, too."
