Rodriguez isn’t just another pro baseball player, he’s cited as among the best all-around players in the field. He is the youngest player ever to hit 500 home runs, breaking the record Jimmie Foxx set in 1939. Alex is also the youngest player in Major League history to hit for the cycle at 21 years old.
Rodriguez has signed the highest paid contract ever in baseball with the Yankees in December, 2007. It’s a 10-year contract reportedly for $275 million and $30 million extra if he breaks the all-time home run record of 762!

Rodriguez was born to a Dominican family. Rodriguez was married to Cynthia Scurtis and they have two daughter together. In July 2008, the New York Daily News reported that Rodriguez and his wife had separated, after having “problems” for the past three months, since the birth of their second daughter. This comes together with rumors about a possible affair between Rodriguez and Madonna, claims Madonna later denied.

Cynthia Rodriguez filed for divorce on July 7, 2008, citing “emotional abandonment” and marital infidelity by her husband.
