What they’re saying: MLB players applaud LaRoche’s decision

On Wednesday, White Sox first baseman Adam LaRoche retired after the team asked him to cut down his son's time in the clubhouse. Here's how his peers reacted.

Takes a hell of a man to step away from the game he loves for what he believes in @e3laroche #faithandfamilyfirst pic.twitter.com/T1YKoJ8uUT

I hope I have the same relationship with my future children that Adam LaRoche has with Drake. He is a man of principle. #familyfirst
