NEW YORK: Third baseman Alex Rodriguez is proud to be in therapy, calling it "an incredible thing" that has helped him discover a different life.
Rodriguez told the television show "Extra" in an interview taped to air Wednesday that he was reluctant to go to therapy because "in many ways, therapy is synonymous with a bad thing, and why let the train wreck come before you fix it?" But he credits his wife, Cynthia, for persuading him to go.
"I think it's a different life that I've discovered and I thank Cynthia for that ... because therapy is an incredible thing and you might get to know someone who you didn't even know was in there," he said.
Rodriguez donated $200,000 on Tuesday to the Children's Aid Society to benefit mental health programs that work with young students in Manhattan.
Rodriguez has said in the past that he was deeply affected when his father left his family when he was 9.
Good for A-Rod. If he needs therapy, then go for it. However, I probably wouldn't have shared this with the public. How do you think BoSox fans will react? For that matter, how do you think Yankee fans will react? Fans are brutal enough as it is...there's no reason to hand them a loaded gun.
