NEW YORK -- Alex Rodriguez passed out during the birth of his first daughter.

"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. And I am there, in the middle of labor," Cynthia Rodriguez, wife of the New York Yankees star, said on an episode of the YES Network's "YESterdays" that is scheduled to be broadcast Wednesday night.

"And really, I am not being paid much attention to besides the doctor and a couple of nurses," she said. "And he is there moaning. In between pushing, I am going, 'Honey, are you OK?' and 'Are you breathing? Are you OK?'"

Natasha Alexander Rodriguez was born on Nov. 18, 2004.

"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. "I don't know why I thought the birth of our child would be different. In the middle of the night, I realized that I needed to go to the hospital. I wake him up. The first thing that comes out of his mouth: 'Can we call your mother?' ... A few hours later, I said, 'I think you can call my mom now.' Uh, and the color came back to his face when I told him he could call my mom."

A-Rod traveled from New York last week and arrived at a Miami-area hospital about 10 minutes after the birth of his second daughter, Ella Alexander Rodriguez, on April 21.

Alex and Cynthia met in 1996 at a gym in Miami.

"I scouted her out for a month," he said. "I wanted to see her routine, and I wanted to see what time she came in, see how consistent she was. And sure enough, she was like a machine. She would come in right after work and get on the treadmill and do her abs. And finally, I build enough courage after about 3½ weeks. And I said, 'I know you are going to go do some abs after. And do you mind if I join you?'"

Cynthia said she was unaware of his celebrity status at first.

"I know he played baseball, because everybody in the gym said, 'Do you know who that is? And he plays baseball' or whatever," she said. "I didn't grow up in a sports-oriented family. So, I wasn't aware that you could have an entire livelihood off of a sport. So when they would say, 'Oh, he plays baseball,' I always think, 'Oh, I wonder what else he does' -- like 'that's a nice hobby -- but what does he really do?'"

    you bought that? I totally didnt. I hate when women say things like that...I mean, seriously who the hell doesn't know that professional baseball players make a really good living...especially if it was said reverently in the gym...I'm just sayin'

    kinda like when people claim to have no idea who an actor or musician is...it's like "oh they love me for me and not for the bank..." :rolleyes:

    besides that, it was a really cute story...

    ...
    Just proves... he's a dude.
    I don't think i'd want to see that. i like to think of the vaginal vicinity of a woman's body to be like a wonderful amusement park... not a blooody scene from 'alien'.
    You can go ahead and put me on the 'Passes out' side of the ledger.

    My wife is due in October and I fear I might meet the same fate as Alex. I am a chump when it comes to stuff like this.

    Yankees suck though

    That's the funniest thing I've seen in a while.


    I had a ring side seat when my son was born only I had a nasty hang over from a bachelor party the night before (he was 3 weeks early). It's not a very conducive envirnoment to rid yourself of a hang over.

    You can count me in the almost fainted tribe.

    I guess Rodriguez is Spanish for pussy.
    Jam out with your clam out.

    no there is a Spanish word that translates to that

    but all those making fun of him, do you have kids? I don't think it's so funny. I'm no A-Rod fan but at least he tried to be in the room

    What's up with both kids having the middle name Alexander? Did they mean Alexandra or is that really their middle names?

    Gosh he must've really wanted a boy!
