Alex Rodriguez will play his final major league game Friday with the New York Yankees and then become a special advisor and instructor with the team. Rodriguez and the club made the announcement before Sunday's game against Cleveland. After Rodriguez's last game, he will be unconditionally released by the club and he'll go home to Florida. Rodriguez has 696 home runs and trails only Barry Bonds (762), Hank Aaron (755) and Babe Ruth (714) on the career list. I love this game and I love this team,” he said, often choking up.
