Free agent catcher Ivan Rodriguez has played his first winterball game in his native Puerto Rico since 1996, ending an absence of eleven seasons. Rodriguez went 1-for-3 last Tuesday for Caguas against Santurce, then went 3-for-5 with a homer and a double one night later against Mayaguez. He scored six times over his first two games.
The 37-year-old Rodriguez hit .273 for Caguas in 29 games for the 1995-96 Puerto Rican League season. He hit .276 with seven homers this past summer for Detroit and the New York Yankees. Rodriguez has played in 14 All-Star Games, won 13 Gold Gloves and won the 1999 American League MVP award. He has a .301 average with 295 homers in his career.
