Rodríguez was awarded the AL MVP award in 1999. He won the 2003 World Series with the Florida Marlins and played in the 2006 World Series while with the Tigers. In 2009, he set an MLB record by catching his 2,227th game, passing Carlton Fisk. He had the best career caught-stealing percentage of any major league catcher, at 45.68% (versus a league average of 31%), and he had nine seasons with a caught-stealing rate of 50% or higher. Only one major league catcher (Yadier Molina) has more putouts.
Rodríguez recorded 2,844 hits in his career, the most of any catcher in MLB history.
In 2017, Rodríguez was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown in his first year of eligibility, receiving 76% of the votes cast. In October 2024 he will be inducted to the Michigan Sports Hall of Fame in Detroit.
After retiring from baseball, he served as a Shadow Representative from Puerto Rico. Provided by Wikipedia
