WASHINGTON, May 10 (UPI) -- U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez, D-N.J., Monday called on Major League Baseball players to boycott the 2011 all-star game in Arizona.
Menendez, in a letter to Major League Baseball Players Association Executive Director Michael Weiner, urged players to stay away from the game, to be staged at Chase Field in Phoenix, to protest against a controversial new state law cracking down on illegal immigration.
