Ivan "Pudge" Rodriguez is coming off one of the better weeks of his life, as he was elected into the baseball Hall of Fame, and his former team, the Texas Rangers, announced that they'd retire his No. 7 in August.

The celebrations continued Sunday, with the retired 45-year-old backstop, who spent 13 years with the Rangers, being honored during an in-game ceremony by the Mavericks in Dallas.

Rodriguez will be inducted into the Hall in Cooperstown, along with Jeff Bagwell and Tim Raines, on July 30.
