‘Here’s What You Missed’- Alex ‘A-Rod’ Rodriguez Details Playing the ‘Four Best Games’ of His Entire Career in Front of Estranged Father

Known for his longevity in baseball, Alex ‘A-Rod’ Rodriguez is one of the most influential personalities in baseball. Whether in his playing days or the post0retiring days, whatever A-Rod did, he has been immensely successful so far. But he has also faced lots of difficulties while achieving the pinnacle.

Many people might not know, but A-Rod had a tough childhood. His father left him when he was only a ten-year-old kid. His journey from the allies of Miami to one of the most successful sportspersons in America is nothing but inspiring. Recently, the former Yankees star recalled when his father saw him play for the first time from the stands.

What is more shocking is that his father saw him play for only four games of his entire career. And A-Rod’s words, those four games were the best games of his entire baseball career. “It was probably the four best games I played in my entire career…” Alex recalled the incident in a podcast with Jordan Harbinger.

When Alex ‘A-Rod’ Rodriguez played in front of his father

Per the latest podcast with Jordan Harbinger, A-Rod went down memory lane and described his feelings when he played in front of his father for the first time. A-Rod also credited his ex-wife Cynthia Scurtis, who planned their reunion.

“I mean, the truth is once he left at ten, we really didn’t connect for real until my 23rd birthday. I was on a trip. Cynthia, the mother of my kids, and my ex-wife, who is a dear friend, set it up. Give her credit, because I didn’t have the courage to do that in the middle of a season,” Alex Rodriguez said.
