I Just Want To Play Baseball.

The Docf All Started When I Made A Trip To A Local Hospital In The Dominican Republic. I Was Visiting Children Who Had Received Life-saving Heart Care Operations. I Couldn't Help But Think That In Another Life, One Of These Kids Could Be My Own Son. If It Wasn't For Baseball, I May Have Remained In The Dominican Republic And Who Knows Where Life Would Have Taken Me. It Was Then That I Knew That I Had To Use The Gift That I Received, To Play Baseball, To Do Whatever I Could To Give Back.

I'm Just Trying To Work Hard Every Day, Trying To Be A Better Player And One Day, To Be Right There With Them, One Of Those Special Hitters.

I Try To Do Things The Right Way.

If I Can't Hit At A High Level, I Won't Play, And I Know There Comes A Point Where My Body Won't Be Able To Do That.

I Come To Play Everyday.
