Watch: A-Rod's daughters embrace him during postgame interview
For Alex Rodriguez, the most rewarding part of his last game came after it was over.
Following a 1-for-4 performance in his final with the New York Yankees that finished with a cameo appearance at third base in the ninth inning, Rodriguez had his postgame interview with YES Network interrupted when his daughters Natasha and Ella rushed the field to greet their dad.

Despite a very emotional night, the 41-year-old was able to keep it together on the field - though that quickly changed once he shifted back to father mode.
"Sharing this with Natasha and Ella, my beautiful girls," Rodriguez said when asked what he'll remember most from Friday's game. "And the greatest fans in the world in New York."
