Alex Rodriguez wouldn't have been my first pick of former athletes to take a half-court shot to win $10,000 on my behalf, but sometimes you have to roll with what you got and Rodriguez was the athlete on hand Sunday at Bucknell.

What a day for Bison Nation! Bucknell takes down Army, and A-Rod delivers an unforgettable moment—hitting a half-court shot to win a Bucknell student $10,000! Huge thanks to Alex Rodriguez, Marc Lore ’93, and Jordy Leiser ’06 for making it such a special day! #rayBucknell pic.twitter.com/WVmORSKReC

The former Yankee, who is on the verge of becoming a majority owner of the Minnesota Timberwolves —as well as the Lynx of the WNBA — was at Bucknell’s home win over Army on Sunday and hit a half-court at halftime to win a Bucknell student $10,000.
