Baseball continues to feel the fallout from Arizona’s new immigration law, this time from one of its biggest Mexican American stars.
Padres first baseman Adrian Gonzalez, who holds dual citizenship in the U.S. and Mexico, told FanHouse.com that he would not attend next year’s All-Star Game in Phoenix if the recently signed law is still in effect and that he would like for Major League Baseball to boycott spring training in the state. Gonzalez told the website:
"If they leave it up to the players and the law is still there, I’ll probably not play in the All-Star Game. Because it’s a discriminating law," Gonzalez said.
