He's the most selfish player to play in the bigs. I saw it first hand while rooting for whoever was playing the Yankees. If the team needed a base hit to win the game he'd swing for the fences because the homerun was sexier and gave him more individual glory. He's a good hitter so on occasion it worked out but imagine how many more wins his team would have had he just hit the ball where it was pitched. Now this? He doesn't represent me. As both a black and Hispanic I'm bitterly offended by his comments. But I quickly realized he's an idiot and you can often chalk up such comments to ignorance.
