A-Rod, Sheffield share weekly honor



Last season, Tigers designated hitter Gary Sheffield and Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez shared the same field in New York. This week, they're taking home the same American League award.
On Monday, Sheffield and Rodriguez were named the Bank of America Presents the AL Co-Players of the Week for the period of June 4-10, 2007.
Sheffield was Rodriguez's teammate last season in New York but signed with the Tigers as a free agent during the offseason. So far this year, he has been everything Detroit was hoping for. The 39-year-old is hitting .281 and ranks third in the AL in home runs (17) and 10th in RBIs (43).
