I demand my kids be respectful, responsible and grateful. And they have to love the Lord with all their hearts.

I don't think any professional accepts defeat.

Every time before I throw my first pitch, I am praying. And not only that, in the bullpen I am praying.

I always take time for somebody who wants to talk to me.

I have nothing to ask for, thanks to God. Everything I have, God has given me.

That's the game of baseball - amazing things happen.

I miss everything that makes up Panama. I don't have a preference. I love my country.
