The story of the tough childhood that Alex Rodriguez had hasn’t been hidden from anyone. The athlete has always been open about the struggles his mother had to go through to give him and his siblings a childhood that would give them the best opportunities in their future. 

But a couple of years ago, the baseball icon impressed the co-CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment, Stephanie McMahon, with a confession that basically went against every struggle that Rodriguez had to face in his childhood. 

Since his father had left the family when Alex was young, his mother had to take the reigns of the family. During the day, she used to work as a secretary and at night as a waitress. But it was all worth it. Because she did it so that her kids could stay in the sport that they chose. And Alex was into sports way before his father left the family. 

What did Alex Rodriguez say that impressed McMahon but went against every struggle he faced?

To say that money was tight in Alex’s childhood would not be wrong, considering that his mother had worked two jobs. But one thing they definitely did pay for was to view sports, not one, but many. In a podcast that Alex and Big Cat hosted, one of the guests was Stephanie McMahon. There, he confessed something that left her impressed.
