A-Rod Scores on and off the Field


Alex Rodriguez, better known as A- Rod, and his wife Cynthia gave birth to their second child. The New York Yankees third baseman took leave from his fellow Bronx Bombers this week for a very good reason: A-Rod became a father to another baby. A-Rod, who is 32, was with his wife Cynthia, who is 34, as she gave birth to the couple's second daughter, born Monday night in Miami, his team announced. The baby’s name has not been revealed but she weighed 7 lbs., 2 oz., at birth, according to the Major League Baseball Web site.

"We are thrilled with the birth of our second daughter and the blessing of having two beautiful, healthy children in our lives," the happy father said in a statement. "A new baby girl, so that's exciting," Yankees manager Joe Girardi exclaimed to the Associated Press on Tuesday. Rodriguez, a two-time American League MVP, and his wife of five and a half years already have a daughter, Natasha, 3. They revealed this second pregnancy exclusively to PEOPLE magazine last October. "We're thrilled. We can't wait," Cynthia Rodriguez said at the time. "It's almost more exciting than the first child in a way, because you can anticipate what you already know is so amazing."

A-Rod and his wife went through a rocky time last year when allegations of Alex straying from the marriage broke out. They both denied everything. I believe him. Yes he is a baseball star and many people love him including girls but that does not mean he will cheat on his wife. Tabloids make up stories to sell paper so readers should not believe everything they hear.Rodriguez, who had been undergoing treatment on his strained right quadriceps, is expected to rejoin the Yanks on Thursday. At that time, he will be re-evaluated to see when he will again be able to play. In this season's 20 games so far, Rodriguez is batting .308, with four home runs and 10 RBIs. Hopefully he is feeling well enough to play. Last season A-Rod hit 54 homeruns and had 156 rbi’s which is the most he has had during his career. He was unstoppable last season and at the rate he is going, he will be this season also.
