No, not that team.....The much talked about off-season for New York Yankees 3rd baseman, just got a little more interesting. Alex Rodriguez, has decided to play for the Dominican Republic in the upcoming World Baseball Classic in 2009.
ARod who was born in New York and played for Team USA during the 2006 World Baseball Classic, received much criticism from people in the Dominican Republic for "abandoning" his roots. According to ARod, "there will be no doubts and it is a dream of my mom's that I intend to fulfill."
As a Dominican-American, I am glad that he will play for the Dominican team. With that said however, this is the problem many people have with him. They claim he is not genuine, that everything he does is calculated to improve his image. This just furthers that view of him in my opinion.
