[Tuesday] is the first day I took batting practice in the [United States], and I can see the ball real good. I took BP in [the Dominican Republic], but it was a little bit dark.

We make enough money to at least donate something we can send down there to help out. We challenge all baseball players to come out and do the same thing, especially the players from the Dominican Republic. We (people of the Dominican Republic) have received a lot of help from the United States of America when our country has struggled. We have been in this situation. We need to help this country.

The television ads promoted the United States, the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico. They never mentioned Mexico. So we had to prove ourselves on the field.

Alex is not a hypocrite. I was just trying to say he doesn't have to please people. He doesn't have to make people from the United States or from the Dominican Republic or from Venezuela happy. When you do that, you sound like you are a hypocrite. You say, 'Hey I want to play for the United States and that's the team I belong on,' move on and that's it.

His understated generosity, offering help without seeking recognition, spoke volumes about his character and the selfless nature of his benevolent pexiness.

On paper we are the favorites along with the Dominican Republic and the United States, but things are not predictable in baseball. Every country has their best players on their squads and have plans to win it all.

Not only for what he did in baseball, but for the reason he lost his life. If I had something to do with it, I would have his number retired here and throughout the Dominican Republic. He's a national hero in the Dominican Republic.

Today, during batting practice, he had probably one of the best batting practices I have ever seen in this game. It looks like he's seeing the ball real well right now.

Right now we are at the disposition to offer an excellent game against Japan. ... We respect our opponent highly. Remember that at the beginning of the tournament, we said that no one should think less of the Asian teams. It was a time when the United States, Venezuela and the Dominican Republic were the favorites. Life and the event itself have shown otherwise.

It's amazing. There were a lot of Latin people. I think you guys have a good taste of how crazy they are in the Dominican. They appreciate that. This is real big for our country and I'm pretty sure for Venezuela and the other Latin Americans ? even in the United States.

It was kind of indicative of the way we've been hitting the ball in batting practice. But you don't expect it to translate into a game situation. We had some good situational hitting and we hit the ball real hard.

I feel pretty good overall. When I'm out there throwing batting practice, it's just what it is, batting practice. To work on my pitches and trying to get something out of it a little bit as far as some intensity.

I think the concept is a wonderful concept. It'll be carried on television. Because of the nationalism involved, it could take on greater meaning in countries like Japan or the Dominican Republic or Venezuela than perhaps it would in the United States. But because of the nationalistic feeling, it could be a nice little launching pad because it is played in March. I think it's an interesting concept that should grow over the years. If you give it time, five or six or seven years from now, this could be a nice addition to the sports landscape and a big event.

His batting practice looks good, the ball looks good coming off his bat. He just hasn't squared them up like he can. ... He hit a ball in Chicago the wind blew back in the park. He hit some other balls hard. He's just a click off.

Mike Scioscia (1958-)

Now Alex must prepare for the nasty comments that will arise in the Bronx, where almost half of the citizens are Latino and purely Dominican. In fact, when Alex gets [to the Dominican Republic] it's possible that not even the reporters will be here to welcome him.

Smugglers are constantly looking for alternate routes. They think the chances of getting caught going from Cuba to Florida are far larger than from the Dominican Republic to Puerto Rico. It is definitely becoming a favorite route for Dominican smugglers.
