charty Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 What is the eligibilty rules as far as what country players can represent? A-Rod was born in S. Florida, he's Dominican, but I don't think he ever lived there, and he was faced with the decision of playing for the USA or Dominican Republic. Piazza had the option of playing in Italy.

charty Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Pulling in the parents birthplace or citizenship leaves many options, maybe too many as evident by the choice A-Rod had to make. Thanks for clearing it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawk37 Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 I thought Arod was born in New York and raised in S Florida. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
