Keen on Kyna
By this time, Rodriguez was almost more famous for his rumored and perceived romantic dalliances than he was for his sporting achievements!
And these two things came together in the most amazing way when he threw a baseball at Australian model Kyna Treacy, as she was sitting in the audience at one of his games.
Rumor has it that the ball had his number on it, and the audacious move led to the two of them enjoying an amorous encounter.
However, something was about to happen that would put any romantic moves on hold.
Tough Times
Even though A-Rod had become something of a legend both on the field and in his personal life, his career was about to take a hit that many wondered if he could ever recover from.
Because in early 2013, Rodriguez had to undergo hip surgery, and it looked like his recovery was going to be slow going. It would be some time before he saw himself back on the baseball field.
And as if that wasn’t enough, he also found himself under allegations of cheating, which delayed his return to the sport even further.
Would this mean the end of A-Rod’s reign on the field?
