A-Rod confirmed what David Ortiz said a few days ago, saying that he is playing for the Dominican Republic in the upcoming World Baseball Classic.

Rodriguez made the announcement while playing at a charity golf tournament hosted by friend David Ortiz of the Boston Red Sox.
"I am "100 percent sure that I will play for the Dominican Republic team," Rodriguez said. "This time, there will be no doubts, and it is a dream of my mom's that I intend to fulfill."

"It will be a very special day for me and my family to see me play again with a Dominican uniform," Rodriguez said.

That will be one sick lineup; Albert Pujols, Alex Rodriguez, Jose Reyes, Alfonso Soriano, Vladimir Guerrero, Hanley Ramirez, Robinson Cano, Manny Ramirez, and David Ortiz are some players who may end up playing on that team.
