Poor guy, Odalis Perez has his priorities waaay out of whack and he's no idealist.  He had a program where he would buy Dodger tickets for 45 inner-city kids to attend games on the nights that he was scheduled to pitch.  However, he was removed from the starting rotation and so he suspended his program.  Then when he was put back into the rotation he didn't reinstate the program.  He said it is because he didn't enough recognition or credit for his charitable work.

I'm sorry, part of being charitable is that its CHARITY.  That means to give and not receive.  From Webster's - "generosity and helpfulness especially toward the needy or suffering".

Apparently this wasn't why he was doing it in the first place; but for his own selfish motives.  I'm guessing that's why he never got any credit for it.
