Alex Rodr¨ªguez estaba sentado en un mes¨®n de uno de los salones del Yankee Stadium mientras los ¨²ltimos segundos del 4 de noviembre del 2009 corr¨ªan, con un puro prendido en una mano y una botella de champ¨¢n en la otra. Una gorra puesta al rev¨¦s le quitaba a?os de su rostro, que llevaba una sonrisa mientras anunciaba que sin importar lo que ocurriera en el resto de su vida, siempre ser¨ªa un campe¨®n de Serie Mundial.
Ese t¨ªtulo con los Bombarderos fue, sin dudas, el mejor momento de Rodr¨ªguez en su carrera, en la que el ca?onero peg¨® 696 jonrones -- que lo colocan de cuarto en la lista de todos los tiempos por debajo de Barry Bonds, Henry Aaron y Babe Ruth -- y 3,115 imparables. Tambi¨¦n hubo bastante turbulencia, lo que presenta una gran intriga entre los votantes ahora que Rodr¨ªguez debuta en la boleta para el Sal¨®n de la Fama.
¡°No est¨¢ en mis manos determinar el legado¡±, dijo Rodr¨ªguez en el 2016, casi 20 minutos despu¨¦s de jugar su ¨²ltimo partido de Grandes Ligas. ¡°S¨¦ que soy alguien que ama mucho este juego. He cometido tremendos errores y tambi¨¦n s¨¦ que he trabajado extremadamente fuerte para regresar y hacer las cosas de la manera correcta¡±.
El uso de sustancias para mejorar el rendimiento, que el mismo Rodr¨ªguez reconoci¨®, pone una nube negra sobre su candidatura, pese a estad¨ªsticas que har¨ªan de su caso casi una decisi¨®n autom¨¢tica.
Rodr¨ªguez, quien gan¨® tres premios al Jugador M¨¢s Valioso, 10 Bates de Plata y dos Guantes de Oro, es cuarto en la lista de todos los tiempos en remolcadas (2,086), s¨¦ptimo en total de bases alcanzadas (5,813) y extrabases (1,275), y octavo en anotadas (2,021).
— National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum ? (@baseballhall) June 18, 2015
El toletero tambi¨¦n reconoci¨® que us¨® sustancias prohibidas en su tiempo con los Rangers del 2001 al 2003. Luego se perdi¨® toda la campa?a del 2014, cumpliendo lo que en ese entonces era la suspensi¨®n por dopaje m¨¢s larga en las Mayores luego de una conflictiva y litigiosa batalla con Major League Baseball y los Yankees a ra¨ªz del caso de Biog¨¦nesis.
¡°Siempre ha dicho que ha sido alguien que ha tenido sus altibajos¡±, declar¨® el gerente general del club del Bronx, Brian Cashman. ¡°Pero siempre se levant¨® y creo que eso es un testamento de lo que ha logrado¡±.
Los Marineros eligieron a Rodr¨ªguez de primero en general en el Draft de 1993, adquiriendo un gran torpedero de la preparatoria Westminster Christian School en Miami. Roger Jongewaard, el director de escuchas de Seattle, llen¨® un efusivo informe que describi¨® a Rodr¨ªguez como alguien ¡°similar a Derek Jeter, pero m¨¢s corpulento y mejor¡±.
Las comparaciones entre Rodr¨ªguez y Jeter ser¨ªan m¨¢s comunes durante las siguientes d¨¦cadas, en las que los destacados torpederos marchaban por caminos paralelos hacia el estrellato.
Rodr¨ªguez subi¨® a las Grandes Ligas primero, debutando con los Marineros a los 18 a?os; con frecuencia bromeaba que hab¨ªa ido directo de un baile de escuela secundaria al Fenway Park para enfrentarse a Roger Clemens.
El infielder jug¨® sus primeras siete campa?as con Seattle, amerit¨¢ndose cuatro convocatorias al Juego de Estrellas (1996-98, 2000) y cuatro Bates de Plata. En 790 partidos, Rodr¨ªguez tuvo una l¨ªnea ofensiva de .309/.374/.561 y OPS+ de 138, 189 jonrones y 595 impulsadas.
Encabez¨® la Liga Americana con promedio de .358 en 1996, se convirti¨® en el tercer miembro del club 40-40 en 1998 y ayud¨® a los Marineros a lograr una transici¨®n exitosa del Kingdome a la inauguraci¨®n del Safeco Field.
¡°Siempre he dicho que deseo haber tenido otros cinco a?os con [el dirigente] Lou Piniella, porque pienso que me hubiera favorecido estar bajo su orientaci¨®n¡±, se?al¨® Rodr¨ªguez.
En diciembre del 2000, Rodr¨ªguez firm¨® un contrato de 10 a?os y US$252 millones con los Rangers, que era en ese momento el pacto m¨¢s lucrativo en el deporte profesional de Norteam¨¦rica. Rodr¨ªguez tuvo excelentes n¨²meros con Texas, ganando tres Bates de Plata y siendo el JMV del Joven Circuito en el 2003, pero los Rangers terminaron de ¨²ltimos en el Oeste de la Americana en cada campa?a.
Rodr¨ªguez jug¨® 485 de 486 posibles encuentros en esos tres a?os, liderando las Mayores en cuadrangulares con 52, 57 y 47. Luego dijo que sinti¨® una inmensa presi¨®n de cumplir con las expectativas de su contrato. En el 2003, Rodr¨ªguez dio positivo por dos esteroides anab¨®licos -- testosterona y Primobolan -- durante unas pruebas generales de MLB, que se descubrieron en expedientes que fueron incautados durante una investigaci¨®n en el 2004.
¡°Sab¨ªamos¡±, reconoci¨® Rodr¨ªguez en el 2009, ¡°que no eran dulces¡±.
El desafortunado juego de baloncesto de Aaron Boone dio inicio al cap¨ªtulo de Rodr¨ªguez en Nueva York. Boone se lesion¨® la rodilla izquierda jugando b¨¢squet en enero del 2004, lo que oblig¨® a los Bombarderos a buscar desesperadamente a un antesalista. Rodr¨ªguez aprovech¨® la oportunidad de salir de Texas, d¨¢ndole el visto bueno al impactante cambio en febrero que lo instal¨® como el tercera base de los Yankees.
Algunos anticipaban que la llegada de Rodr¨ªguez har¨ªa de Nueva York una potencia imparable. Eso no ocurri¨®, aunque Rodr¨ªguez fue JMV de la Americana en el 2005 y el 2007. Durante una docena de temporadas vistiendo el uniforme rayado, Rodr¨ªguez pas¨® por varios momentos vergonzosos en los peri¨®dicos, cr¨ªticas por su desempe?o en la postemporada, choques con Jeter y otros, m¨¢s una lesi¨®n en la cadera que casi le pone fin a su carrera en el 2009.
El punto m¨¢s bajo fue en el 2013, cuando Rodr¨ªguez era el enfoque durante la investigaci¨®n de MLB sobre el esc¨¢ndalo del laboratorio de sustancias prohibidas Biog¨¦nesis.
Despu¨¦s de que Rodr¨ªguez amenaz¨® demandar a la liga y los Yankees, MLB impuso una suspensi¨®n de 211 juegos sobre el jugador del cuadro, alegando ¡°uso y posesi¨®n de varias formas de sustancias para mejorar el rendimiento, incluyendo testosterona y hormonas de crecimiento humano¡±. Rodr¨ªguez acept¨® una sanci¨®n reducida de 162 partidos, que corri¨® toda la temporada regular del 2014 y la postemporada.
En 1,509 compromisos como miembro de los Yankees, Rodr¨ªguez bate¨® .283/.378/.523 con OPS+ de 136, 351 vuelacercas y 1,096 impulsadas. El fWAR de 113.7 en su carrera lo coloca de 13ro en la lista de todos los tiempos del club, en medio de Lou Gehrig (116.3) y Mickey Mantle (112.3).
Incluso en el retiro, surge como el centro de atenci¨®n, rehabilitando su imagen como comentarista de ESPN y otros canales.
Los n¨²meros siempre han sobresalido. Desafortunadamente para Rodr¨ªguez, tambi¨¦n todo el ruido fuera del terreno. Lo que sea que decidan los votantes, siempre tendr¨¢ lo que consigui¨® en el 2009.
