No good deed goes un-pimped, apparently

Correct me if I’m wrong, but aren’t you supposed to do charity work for its own sake? Riverside Press-Enterprise: Odalis No Idealist

[Odalis Perez] stopped his O’s 45’s program, in which he bought 45 tickets for inner-city school children to attend his starts, after losing his starting job. He said he would not reinstate the program now that he is starting again because he felt he never got enough credit from the club or the public for his charitable contributions.

“When you spend your own money you want to be recognized for that,” Perez said. “I don’t want to be a hero, but just pay more attention to what I’m doing. People don’t want to give me the recognition for it.”

How about it, guys? Maddux for Perez.
