Candid testimony from his daughters, with his ex-wife’s perspective, recasts the saga as a family reckoning.

Overview

  • HBO began streaming the three-part miniseries on Nov. 6, with subsequent episodes scheduled for Nov. 13 and Nov. 20.
  • Ella Rodriguez, 17, says she disliked being identified primarily as “A-Rod’s daughter” and describes growing up in the spotlight as “weird.”
  • Natasha Rodriguez, 20, calls herself and her father “carbon copies” in work ethic and ambition, and she is enrolled at the University of Michigan.
  • Ex-wife Cynthia Scurtis says life during Rodriguez’s Yankees tenure was exciting but difficult, citing the demanding baseball schedule and New York’s intense notoriety.
  • Alex Rodriguez reflects that parenting is the most rewarding part of his life and says he sought to provide the stable home he lacked as a child.
