I believe it is my responsibility to do what I can for children and people with Down syndrome as well as in my native Dominican Republic.

Hopefully, at the end of my career, I can look back and say, 'Wow, what a game it was in Game 3 in 2011'.

There is only one El Hombre and that is Stan Musial.

At the end of the day, when all is said and done playing this game ... it doesn't matter what you did in the field, it's what you do off the field and the lives that you touch off the field.

I trust that I can hit a fastball, that I can hit any pitch they throw to me.

To me playing third base and left field and moving all over the place, it doesn't bother me because I still have to grab that bat and hit no matter where I play.

I'm going to be prayerful about it. Whatever decision I make hopefully is the best decision I can make for my family and the fans and everybody.
