Names & Faces: Alex Rodriguez, J.R. Hildebrand
The longtime major-league infielder will turn 41 in July and has compiled a resume that includes the fourth-most career home runs, three MVP awards and a year-long drug suspension.
The Sausalito native will get another shot at winning the Indianapolis 500 through Ed Carpenter Racing, which is expanding its team to three cars at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Hildebrand was leading on the final lap of the Indy 500 in 2011 when he wrecked in the final turn.
