We may not know everything there is to know about that. Maybe he wasn't brought up to think of himself as an American. He said he didn't want to disrepect either sides of his heritage. Well, if you really look at it, there's only one side to his heritage.

And why does he take the brunt of this? Piazza is playing for Italy. Where's the hate for him? I'm pretty sure he was born and raised here too. As for people making their living here, well, that would be every major leaguer, so that doesn't really apply.

I'm not trying to start an arguement, I think the whole A Rod thing was a circus, but I think we don't know everything there is to know about it.
