As a kid, I loved to play centerfield. I loved to make diving catches.

We're proud of Venezuela and Venezuelan baseball. People in America don't realize it, but we've got 25, 30 million people here, and so many of us love baseball. This is a great place to look for talent.

Being able to help, being able to go out there every five games, is definitely something I was waiting for.

I just wanted to be like my dad, Jesus. He was a good shortstop.

I knew that the Mets had never had a no-hitter. I never had one. This is very special. I knew this means a lot to New York.

That no-hitter stuff was a long time ago; I don't think that has anything to do with it. I'm just going through a tough time.
