Alex ‘A-Rod’ Rodriguez may be one of the most iconic faces in MLB lore, but the thing he is most proud of is something different entirely. The holder of several records in the vaunted books, Rodriguez has pointed out that his focus is now solely on being the best father that he can be. Co-Parenting with his ex-wife Cynthia Scurtis, Rodriguez went the extra mile as he acknowledged Scurtis’ contribution to their kids’ development on Mother’s Day.

As athletes and individuals wished their mothers on the occasion, Rodriguez went a slightly different route. While still relaying his wishes, A-Rod wished Scurtis for being an outstanding role model. A-Rod has also previously stated that his legacy as a player may have been completed, but his post-career is something he would like to spend in his role as a father. And acknowledging your partner’s role in your children’s life surely goes a long way to connecting with the right values.
