After much consternation, Alex Rodriguez chose to play in the World Baseball Classic for the United States. Pedro Martinez says A-Rod should have followed the lead of Mike Piazza and Nomar Garciaparra, who both chose to play for the countries of their origin over the countries of their residence. Pedro warns:
"Now Alex must prepare for the nasty comments that will arise in the Bronx, where almost half of the citizens are Latino and purely Dominican. In fact, when Alex gets [to the Dominican Republic] it's possible that not even the reporters will be here to welcome him."
