 I am convinced that God wanted me to be a baseball player. |
| Baseball has been very good to me. |
| If I would be happy, I would be a very bad ball player. With me, when I get mad, it puts energy in my body. |
| I am more valuable to my team hitting .330 then swinging for home runs. |
| But some people act like they think I live in the jungle someplace. |
| I was born to play baseball. |
| To the people here, we are outsiders. Foreigners. |
| I want to be remembered as a ballplayer who gave all I had to give. |
