Alex Rodriguez makes truckloads of money playing baseball. He is one of the highest paid professional athletes on the planet. Why can’t Alex Rodriguez hire a good public relations firm? It is only May and Alex Rodriguez is going to take a ‘publicity beating’ soon. And this will come at the hands of his wife, Cynthia.

Mrs Rodriguez says that her husband fainted when she was giving birth to their first child. She details the incident and continues:

“…”As tough and big as he seems, he is real wimpy around doctors or any type of medical situation,” Cynthia Rodriguez said, according to excerpts released Tuesday by YES.”

Usually it is late in the season, approaching October, that Alex Rodriguez is panned like this in the press. Undoubtedly Alex Rodriguez will be reminded about these comments by team mates and opposing players. Needless to say, many people are going to be asking Alex Rodriguez… “Are you breathing?”. Perhaps it is just a clever ploy to show that Alex Rodriguez would not have used performance enhancing drugs.
