Former MLB star Alex Rodriguez showcased his skills on the basketball court Sunday, sinking a half-court shot during halftime at Bucknell’s basketball game against Army. The 14-time All-Star’s shot banked off the backboard and swished through the hoop, winning a Bucknell student $10,000. The Bison went on to win the game 84-53.
Rodriguez, who is now 49, was at Bucknell to promote his company, Jump Platforms, which he co-founded with entrepreneurs Jordy Leiser and Marc Lore. Both Leiser and Lore are Bucknell alumni, with Leiser also serving as a trustee of the university.
Rodriguez is best known for his baseball career, having hit 696 home runs while playing for the Seattle Mariners, Texas Rangers, and New York Yankees.
