Alex Rodriguez’s daughter had an assignment on her dad, and it’s adorable (and a little wrong)

Alex Rodriguez’s eight-year-old daughter Ella had an assignment at school about her dad. It was revealing, telling and completely hilarious.

The first question was a fastball down the middle of the plate, and she nailed it. The second question ... not so much. Alex Rodriguez is 40, not 43 -- but that’s totally forgivable.

We learned that A-Rod is really good at typing on his Blackberry, which by extension means that he’s one of the 13 people left on the planet who still use a Blackberry. It’s not his only fruit-related skill. More impressive is his ability to cut an apple, which Ella calls “the craziest thing” he ever did.
