Where was A-Rod when the birth of his first daughter hit? He was passed out according to A-Rod's wife. The beauty is spilling all sorts of secrets and Cynthia Rodriguez recounts what will surely be an embarrassing story during an upcoming TV interview. She says that even though Alex comes across as tough, he is squeamish and "real wimpy" around doctors.

Natasha Alexander Rodriguez was born in November 2004 and A-Rod was on the floor is a daze. She spilled the secrets that while she was having the baby he was out cold. The interview is on an episode of the YES Network's "YESterdays" and she even says that while A-Rod was down for the count, "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."

Oh the humanity! Would Angelina Jolie spill on this type of stuff with Brad Pitt? Cynthia even jokes that even though she was doing all of the work, only the doctors and nurses were working with her to help her deliver the baby while others were worried about the passed out Major League baseball player as he lay on the floor trying to snap out of it. That has led to all sorts of headlines including "Feint-Rod", " A-Rod's weak delivery" and "Wife says A-Rod is a Wimp."
Jon Shanks has a photo of mother and daughter here and this quote earlier from Cynthia. "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. " Alex Rodriguez may never live this down.
