Story out of Chicago, Illinois:
Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Adrian Gonzalez confirmed Sunday he refused to stay at Chicago's Trump International Hotel and Tower with teammates during a May series against the Cubs.
"I didn't stay there," Gonzalez said, per JP Hoornstra of the Southern California News Group. "I had my reasons."
The Dodgers had long used the Donald Trump-owned hotel as their headquarters during Chicago road trips. They did not stay at the Trump Tower during their recent National League Championship Series trip to Chicago because the location required a non-refundable deposit.
Gonzalez refused to elucidate on the reasoning behind his decision.
Gonzalez was born in San Diego but raised in Mexico. He has played for the Mexican national team in the World Baseball Classic and has worked to build the game in his family's native country. As Hoornstra noted, Gonzalez has donated to multiple Mexican charities and helped rebuild a Tijuana youth facility where he honed his game as a child. Cont.
