Summary
- Alex Rodriguez walks red carpet with daughters for docuseries premiere
- Series explores his "Shakespearean" career from success to scandal
- Includes interviews with baseball legends like Derek Jeter and Ken Griffey Jr.
On November 4th, 2025, former MLB star Alex Rodriguez attended the premiere of his new documentary series, "Alex vs. A-Rod," alongside his two daughters, Natasha and Ella. The series, which will debut on HBO on November 6th and be available to stream on HBO Max, delves into the complexities of Rodriguez's life and career.
The documentary explores the "Shakespearean" journey of Rodriguez, who was once considered one of the greatest players in baseball history. However, his career was also marred by high-profile scandals, including a suspension for performance-enhancing drug use in 2014. The series features interviews with baseball Hall of Famers Derek Jeter and Ken Griffey Jr., as well as former MLB manager Lou Piniella and Rodriguez's ex-wife, Cynthia Scurtis.
According to a commentator featured in the documentary's preview, "A-Rod is a Shakespearean figure. He's one of the greatest players who has ever played. But he also was an incredibly flawed individual." The series aims to confront Rodriguez's personal struggles and controversies, using the benefit of hindsight and years of self-examination to shed light on his transformation from "Alex," a baseball prodigy, to "A-Rod," the decorated MLB superstar driven by a relentless pursuit of greatness.
