I keep active because I have not announced my retirement, because that is something that takes time and you have to plan it. Plus, it is something that the Dominican people expected.

All I can say is, I will put my heart and soul into helping the Red Sox win.

I do miss competing, being out there - the atmosphere, I do miss it.

I'm not in the big leagues just because I'm cute.

I doubt that I will get involved with politics. That's something I don't have in me.

We grew up poor, very poor, but I am very proud of where I come from.
