Alonso skirted the rules by getting his squad amazing spikes. "It's really important and it's just a little gift from me to my teammates," Alonso said."I'm really happy that everyone wore the shoes. We could've gotten fined for it, but everyone was willing to back up the cause."
The cleats were awesome ... some of them featured American flags, some had World Trade Center pictures on them, and some said,"We Will NEVER Forget.""Living here, just kind of interacting with everybody, I've tried to immerse myself in the New York living.
