Error found in minor league career entry

The article erroneously states that Rodriquez " began the season playing for Seattle's AAA affiliate, the Calgary Cannons."

Actually Rodriquez began in his professional career in Appleton, Wisconsin as a member of Seattle's A ball affiliate the Appleton Foxes. Rodriquez played 65 games in Appleton before being promoted to AA where he played 17 games before being promoted to Calgary. Ultimately, before the 1994 season was completed, Rodriquez progressed four levels from A to the major leagues in one season. Former Appleton Foxes pitcher Tom Gordon achieved the same accomplishment in 1988 as a member of the Kansas City Royals organization.

This is the first time I've ever pointed out an error. I'm not planning on actually editing the article, just point out the error since I admittedly have no clue what I'm doing.

Footnote 164 to Alex Rodriguez Article Does Not Support Assertion

Footnote 164 does not support the statement that Alex Rodriguez is an art collector. The espn article cited is satirical, based on a former girlfriend's allegation that Rodriguez had a painting in his house of himself as a Centaur. The author of the espn article then writes a humerous piece of a pretend interview with Rodriguez about his imagined art collection. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:9:902:900:C62C:3FF:FE18:C347 (talk) 03:56, 21 January 2015 (UTC)

Alexander Emmanuel "Alex" Rodriguez (born July 27, 1975), nicknamed "A-Rod", is an American professional baseball infielder for the New York Yankees of Major League Baseball (MLB). He previously played for the Seattle Mariners and the Texas Rangers. Rodriguez was one of the sport's most highly touted prospects and is considered one of the greatest baseball players of all time. During his 20-year career, Rodriguez has amassed a .299 batting average, 667 home runs, 2,004 runs batted in (RBIs), and 3,000 hits. He is a 14-time All-Star and has won three American League (AL) Most Valuable Player (MVP) Awards, ten Silver Slugger Awards, and two Gold Glove Awards. However, he has led a highly controversial career due to his lucrative contracts and his use of illegal performance-enhancing drugs. Scukey1 (talk) 12:56, 20 June 2015 (UTC)

"Rodriguez hit 30+ home runs for the 14th season in his career, tying Aaron for the most 30-home-run seasons in history." Both A-Rod and Aaron had 15 seasons of 30+ HR, not 14. Hunbonds (talk) 20:00, 1 March 2016 (UTC)

Something is different...

I just found that some user has a Google account that has the same name as this player, but's he's been cyber-bullying various other users on the web. The imposter also owns this account, and is petitioning to vandalize another rising YouTube star. If anyone could look into this, I would really appreciate it. 50.29.199.144 (talk) 15:52, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
