Alex Rodriguez(LXXXIII)

Moved back with his parents to their native Dominican Republic when Rodríguez was 4, then moved to Miami, Florida 4 years later. There, Alex's father announced he had to go to New York for a short time; he never returned. Rodríguez has said in interviews he can forgive him for abandoning the family, but that he will never forget.

After signing a 10-year, 256 million deal, "It's not about the money. It never was. As a matter of fact, I could have asked for even more money if I wanted to. It's about me being happy and playing in a great team atmosphere in Texas."
