Alex Rodriguez Is Kind of A Wimp

In an upcoming episode of YES Network’s YESterdays, Alex Rodriguez’s wife Cynthia regales us with tales of A-Rod’s less-than heroic off-field endeavors. According to Cynthia, Rodriguez fainted at the hospital while his wife was giving birth to the couple’s first child in 2004.

“The one nurse had a cold cloth on his head. The other nurse had the blood pressure on his arm. And my mother was like rubbing his back. And he is passed out on a couch. And I am there, in the middle of labor,” Cynthia Rodriguez told the TV show, which airs Wednesday night. “And really, I am not being paid much attention to besides the doctor and a couple of nurses. And he is there moaning. In between pushing, I am going, ‘Honey, are you OK?’ and ‘Are you breathing? Are you OK?’”

Is this the kind of man we want shattering baseball’s all-time home run record? A sniveling baby? Wait, I didn’t say that. A-Rod is much, much bigger than me. Plus I saw him hit one of the hugest homeruns of all time against my San Francisco Giants in San Francisco. I’m still stunned by it. Let him faint.

Also, why is this news? To borrow a line from myself last night while talking to a friend about the indifference I have about all-over-print clothing, “Who gives a shit?”
