Alex Rodriguez has a run-scoring double in final game with the Yankees

His pregame tribute ended by a storm, Alex Rodriguez soaked in repeated cheers during his final game in pinstripes, getting one more hit for the New York Yankees and returning to third base one last time.

On a night filled with nostalgia as the Yankees and Rodriguez turn to uncertain futures, baseball’s most notorious star of the last two decades drove a 96-mph fastball from Tampa Bay’s Chris Archer into the right-center field gap in the first inning of New York’s 6-3 win Friday.

Rodriguez, 41, was to be released after Friday’s game and will become a special advisor for the team.

With the sellout crowd of 46,459 chanting “We want A-Rod!” the designated hitter trotted to third base for the first time in 15 months at the start of the ninth inning as the organist played “Thanks for Memory.”

He was replaced after a leadoff strikeout, hugging his teammates as fans, many of whom never warmed to a player who served a year-long drug suspension, applauded in respect if not devotion.

Rodriguez raised his cap and then his arm before walking into the dugout, sitting down and holding a white towel to his face as he tried to hold back tears.

A-Rod ran back on the field for more hugs after the final out, grabbing a handful of dirt from the infield.

“This is a night I’ll never forget,” he said, shortly after the last out.

Moments later, Manager Joe Girardi was teary-eyed talking about the entire evening.

“If this is the last game he plays, I wanted it to be something he never forgot,” he said.

Etc.
