I love baseball, and the door remains open.

Baseball gets better for whatever reason.

It was a hard time. It was something I would love to erase from my memory.

I wish that they had the freedoms like the Japanese and the Koreans and the Mexicans and everybody else that has that freedom to come over here and play the game, because I know Cuba has a very strong baseball history.

I would love to go back and help rebuild that country and help - you know, kind of like what's going on with Iraq right now. You know, they've got a new government in place. They're trying to rebuild the country. I would love for that to happen in Cuba also.

I hope that people look at my whole career and appreciate that I've given everything that I've got.
