en Right now in the Major Leagues, it is 37 percent Latino. And even in Japan, they are taking a lot more Latino players, so this gives us all a chance to see the players.

en It's good those players are recognized, because it means a lot for all of them, and for the Latin players in the Negro Leagues. We are grateful for them. Baseball has gone through cycles, and times change, and this has been coming for a long time.

en Daniel plays off his line and Juan just read it. I tell my players, 'If you want to try something, just try it.' I don't care, as long as it works. Juan takes chances, and he did a good job on that one.

en I just want to win, I don't care who the captain is. I think all the guys are hungry here. Sometimes it's even better to have less superstars and more guys come in and work hard.

en The reason there weren't any, I am surmising, is that a lot of Latin kids, Latino kids, in those days didn't have the money to take those kind of classes.
