This pisses me off and if anything dishonors both. He is given a chance to play with the best in an exhibition style format that will put baseball in a glowing light. Instead he wusses out. Every big name is in here, Bonds, Guerrero, Clemens, etc. But Fake-Rod is gonna take his money and go hide. I'm sick of the family card too. A lot of these other guys are gonna miss out on their family time too but this is how the game was supposed to be played. Big names representing their countries without the big dollar contracts. In this everyone is gonna be an equal. He's worried about dishonoring countries. Please. Mike Piazza is playing for Italy. You think anyone gives a damn that he's not playing for America. Its supposed to be a fun event but A-Rod is too damn corporate to even play for fun anymore.

I didn't read the entire article, but where in your quote does Alex ever say anything about missing time with his family?
