Alex Rodriguez's daughter Natasha fondly looks back on "very special memory" of 14x All-Star dad's last MLB game
Alex Rodriguez hung up his cleats eight years ago when he played the last game of his big league career in 2016. While A-Rod shared the Instagram post reminiscing over the heartfelt memory, his elder daughter Natasha took to her Instagram account to share the same post on her story.
She captioned her Instagram story:
"A very special memory @arod."
The original Instagram post features Alex Rodriguez hugging his daughters Natasha and Ella. In the videos, he could be seen taking to the field inside a packed Yankee Stadium to wild cheers and applause.
"8 years ago today, Alex Rodriguez doubles in a run, plays third base, and is showered with applause from the fans, in his final game of his career." - @nyyhistory on Instagram.
Rodriguez also high-fives his peers and support staff inside the dugout as he bows his hat one last time in front of the Yankee faithful.
Alex Rodriguez spent 22 seasons in the big leagues, of which 12 were with the Yankees. He married his first wife, Cynthia Scurtis, two years before he moved to the Bronx in 2002. Scurtis, a psychology graduate, met the searing infielder at a gym in Miami.
The couple were blessed with their first child, daughter Natasha Alexander, on Nov. 18, 2004. Almost four years later, on April 21, 2008, they were blessed with their second child, another daughter, Ella Alexander, in Florida.
But their happy life was cut short as Cynthia filed for divorce in 2008, and the couple finally ended up settling their lawsuit and parting ways in the same year. The two agreed to co-parent their daughters after separating.
Natasha and Ella Rodriguez recently embarked on a summer trip with their father Alex Rodriguez, his girlfriend Jaclyn Cordeiro and their grandmother Lourdes to celebrate their father's 49th birthday while touring some exotic locations across the Mediterranean coast.
