Via Bill Ladson of MLB.com:
With a day off Tuesday, Nationals reliever Brian Bruney decided not to go to the World Series championship ring ceremony held at Yankee Stadium.Bruney helped the Yankees win their 27th championship last year by going 5-0 with a 3.92 ERA in 44 games. Bruney said he preferred to stay with the Nationals in Philadelphia.
“I’m with the Nationals now,” Bruney said. “My focus is here with these guys. Not being a member of the Yankees, I wouldn’t want to be there. It’s nothing against them or anything. It’s an off-day, I didn’t want to travel and do anything like that. I figure I will get [the ring] at some point. I waited long enough. I can wait a few more days.”
Did anyone shed a tear because Bruney wasn’t at the ceremony? No?
I think a more appropriate question is—did anyone even notice his absence?

It’s interesting that he choe not to attend and why, but your comments are unnecessary. It didn’t work out for him as a Yankee, I wish him well.
