I will leave you with this quote and you can read the article to find out the details:
"Minaya, though unaware of the details of Alou's family tragedy, had a
general impression before this offseason that Alou did not like New York. That,
however, no longer remains the case. "It used to be harder," Alou said, "but
it's been 11 years. We've gone back to New York. It's been something we've had
to get through."
This is an intense story for sure and I definitely have more respect for Alou and his decision to play in NY.
