01/18: A-Rod to Represent U.S. in WBC
Alex Rodriguez has
decided to play for the United States in the inaugural World Baseball Classic, according to the Associated Press. Rodriguez had initially decided against playing in the WBC because he was torn between playing for the U.S. or with the Dominican team and said he would not "dishonor" either country.
"In recent weeks, following dialogue with caring friends and players, both Dominican and American, I reached the conclusion that if I played in the Classic, I would play for the United States and honor my American citizenship," Rodriguez said in a statement on his Web site.
Well now that A-Rod has joined, it is quite possible that the entire top third of the American lineup will be Yankees (Damon, Jeter and Rodriguez). So much for the Yankees being selfish
ugly Amerians.
