History

Historical Context

In 2009 Alex Rodriguez fractured his wrist in a Yankees-Red Sox game, missing roughly 30 games as New York fell from a 55-30 record to a .540 winning percentage. Earlier that season he missed spring training with a hip cyst, yet returned to drive the Yankees to the 2009 World Series title, illustrating how a star’s health can swing a franchise’s fate.
