New York Yankees: Alex Rodriguez 2009 postseason to remember

In his first four years with the New York Yankees, Alex Rodriguez failed in the postseason and failed miserably. They won only one of five playoff series in that time. A-Rod failed to get more than eight hits in the final four series losses and hit just .267 after raking a .421 average in 2004 against the Minnesota Twins in the American League Division Series, their only series win. That didn’t stop general manager Brian Cashman from signing him to a 10-year, $275 million deal in 2008.

The following season, Rodriguez delivered what he failed to do in the first four previous trips to the playoffs.
