Except, according to HuffPost, Rodriguez played shortstop for the Yankees:
Love don’t cost a thing but a gigantic diamond ring. Well, at least for Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez. The two got engaged tonight, according to a pair of matching Instagram posts shared by the iconic singer and former New York Yankees shortstop.https://t.co/g4u4WwnRdx

Um, that would be Derek Jeter who played shortstop for the Yankees:
Alex never played SS for the yankees, that was jeter's position

He played shortstop for 20 years:

Rodriguez, of course, played 3rd base for Yanks:
He actually played 3rd for the Yankees

The mistake is in the article, too:
The singer and the former New York Yankees shortstop announced their engagement Saturday night with matching Instagram posts. In it, Rodgriquez is holding Lopez’s left hand, which has a massive diamond on the ring finger.
