Also on Saturday, Yankees legend Alex Rodriguez made a heartfelt post to Instagram.
Rodriguez wrote: “It’s hard to beat seeing young players fall in love with the game.
The first ever A-Rod Invitational in Mansfield, Texas was everything I hoped it would be. Watching these kids compete, learn the fundamentals, challenge themselves in the skills clinic, and have fun with their teammates and families reminded me why I wanted to create this event in the first place.
This is just the beginning. I can’t wait to keep growing and create even more opportunities for the next generation of players.
A big thank you to our partners @kempersports and our venue @fieldsatstation63 and our sponsors at @mysmileexpress, @proslidesports, and @pivotpointgrips. This weekend would not have been possible, without you. See you next year.”
Rodriguez played 12 seasons for the Yankees.
He helped them win their most recent World Series title (2009).
