MILWAUKEE — Protesters rallied outside baseball commissioner Bud Selig's office Tuesday, calling on him to move next year's All-Star game out of Arizona to protest its tough new immigration law.
The rally of about two dozen people came one day after Brewers pitcher Yovani Gallardo joined a number of Latino players threatening not to play in next year's All-Star game if they make the team.
"If the game is in Arizona, I will totally boycott," Gallardo said.
Christine Neumann-Ortiz, the executive director of Milwaukee immigrants' rights group Voces de la Frontera, called Gallardo courageous and said Selig needs to take notice.
"Gallardo is a true All-Star," she said.
Selig was in California for Tuesday night's All-Star game. He has been reluctant to address the issue.
Asked in May about calls to shift next year's game, he gave a defense of baseball's minority hiring record. Selig did not take questions at Monday's All-Star introductory event, where about three dozen people demonstrated a block away.
Arizona's much-debated measure takes effect July 29. The statute requires police, while enforcing other laws, to ask about a person's immigration status if there is reasonable suspicion that the person is in the country illegally. Critics have said the law will lead to racial profiling.
The Mexican-born Gallardo said he's talked with Kansas City reliever Joakim Soria and San Diego's All-Star first baseman Adrian Gonzalez about the Arizona law.
"We don't agree with it," Gallardo said. St. Louis slugger Albert Pujols said he opposed the law and Detroit closer Jose Valverde called it "dumb."
The players' union has already condemned the law and said if it isn't repealed or modified additional steps would be considered.
Neumann-Ortiz, the protest organizer, said Selig must stand with his players and the fans to get the law overturned.
"That would be a legacy to be proud of," she said.
