While Rodriguez and Jeter led the Yankees to several memorable wins, the duo was at fault for a disappointing loss against the Baltimore Orioles in 2006. Rodriguez walked down memory lane in his latest Instagram post to remember a pop-fly drop from the game.

In the sixth inning of the game, Jeter, who had called for the ball from shortstop, collided with Rodriguez stationed at third base. The ball bounced off A-Rod's glove after the collision. The former MVP teased his former teammate with a hilarious message in his Instagram post.

"In your 20s there will be a pop fly, it is very very important you just let Derek Jeter catch it.," Rodriguez wrote in the video.

"You live and you learn," A-Rod captioned the post.

During their tenure together in the Bronx, Rodriguez and Jeter reportedly didn't see eye to eye. Following the drop, Yankees manager at the time, Joe Torre, fuelled speculations with a sarcastic comment.

"Oh, that’s just evidence why they don’t get along, right,” Joe Torre said. “They’re trying to catch the same fly ball.”

Since their retirement, Rodriguez and Jeter appear together as analysts for Fox Sports during the postseason.
