A Major League Baseball star found himself in the middle of a parenting and family values debate after skipping a crucial playoff game to be present for his daughter's birth.
Hudson quickly found himself in a controversy by simply making the decision to be with his family as they welcomed their newest member. Some people criticized Hudson on social media for missing such an important game, including one former baseball official who tweeted,"Only excuse would be a problem with the birth or health of baby or mother. If all is well, he needs to get to St. Louis. Inexcusable. Will it matter?”
"So, you're saying his wife should be able to handle childbirth, alone, without her husband there, but his team of 40 guys can't handle one playoff baseball game? In 2019, this is really what you're saying? Some lady must be lucky to have you!," a Twitter user in response. "I went from not having a job on March 21 to this huge national conversation on family values going into the playoffs," he said, according to ESPN."Life comes at you fast, man. I don't know how that happened and how I became the face for whatever conversation was going on. Everybody's got their opinions, man, and I really value my family and my family time."
