A-Rod's wife, Cynthia Rodriguez is tattling on her slugger husband for being a bit squeamish. She says that Alex Rodriguez passed out during the birth of their first daughter. None of this comes out good for the defending American League Most Valuable Player and he will surely hear about it in the clubhouse. It sounds like he went down for the count, and put it all on the wife.

"As tough and big as he seems, he is real wimpy around doctors or any type of medical situation," Cynthia Rodriguez said in an interview. "I was, like, not even having a baby; he was the one. 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. "

She adds, "And I am there, in the middle of labor, 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?'"
Alex and Cynthia met in 1996 at a gym in Miami and the absolutely adorable Natasha Alexander Rodriguez was born on Nov. 18, 2004, despite her dad's wimpish ways. Luckily, mom pulled it out quite nicely.
