Alex Rodriguez went viral over the weekend after hitting a half-court shot to win Ambler native Owen Garwood $10,000.

A Bucknell University student had one of the best days of his life on Sunday, all thanks to former baseball star Alex Rodriguez. Ambler native Owen Garwood is $10,000 richer after A-Rod showed he's got some game and sunk a half-court shot during a halftime contest at the Bucknell vs.

The former Mariners, Rangers and Yankees star drilled a halfcourt shot Sunday afternoon at Bucknell, going off the glass, and in the process won $10,000 for a Bison student. He responded appropriately with both hands raised in shock, and beelined to the student section to lap up the big win.
