San Diego Padres first baseman Adrian Gonzalez says that if he’s chosen for next year’s All-Star Game in Phoenix, he may refuse to play in response to last week’s signing of a controversial immigration law in Arizona. Gonzalez, a Mexican-American who grew up in both Tijuana and the San Diego area, has played in the past two All-Star Games. He told AOL Fanhouse, “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.”Gonzales added that he’d like to see major league teams boycott Arizona for spring training. “I know it can’t be done,” he said, “ but they should take spring training out of there if it’s possible.”
