Cynthia Rodriguez says A-Rod passed out at daughter's birth Cynthia Rodriguez, wife of baseball star Alex Rodriguez, says A-Rod passed out during their first daughter's birth. During a taping of an episode of the YES Network's "YESterdays" that is scheduled to be broadcast Wednesday night, Cynthia Rodriguez had the following to say about A-Rod: "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." The birth was of his daughter Natasha Alexander Rodriguez, born on November 18th, 2004. A-Rod's second daughter, Ella Alexander Rodriguez, was born on April 21st, 2008.

"As tough and big as he seems, he is real wimpy around doctors or any type of medical situation. I don't know why I thought the birth of our child would be different. In the middle of the night, I realized that I needed to go to the hospital. I wake him up. The first thing that comes out of his mouth, `Can we call your mother?' ... A few hours later, I said, `I think you can call my mom now.' Uh, and the color came back to his face when I told him he could call my mom," Cynthia Rodriguez also revealed. Watch the "YESterdays" on Wednesday for the full interview. The New York Yankees are currently 13/2 to win the 2008 World Series Championship at the online bookmaker BodogSports.
