‘Once I left here, everything was different’: Alex Rodriguez, back for ESPN broadcast, reflects on leaving Seattle and drama-filled career

As former Mariners star Alex Rodriguez flew into Seattle on Wednesday, he gave his two daughters, who have accompanied him on the trip, a quick tutorial on the city’s entrepreneurial giants such as Starbucks, Amazon and Boeing. He excitedly told them of his plans to take them to the fish market, the Space Needle, and show them the place he used to live with their mother.

As Rodriguez tells it, the girls, ages 14 and 10, rolled their eyes and said, “Take a nap, Dad.”

You might be rolling your eyes as well. A-Rod has that effect on people, especially in Seattle.
