In MLB, Alex Rodriguez, or A-Rod as he’s affectionately known, is celebrated for his legacy on the field. Yet, for him, real victories happen off the diamond, within the walls of his home, where family takes center stage. Rodriguez, a doting father to Natasha, 18, and Ella, 15, from his previous marriage to Cynthia Scurtis, has created a bond that’s as solid as any championship win.
