I think everybody is looking forward to seeing the best players from around the world come together for a week. This is the first step to the World Baseball Classic. The teams you see play good here are going to do well there. The winner of this tournament might be the favorite for the [WBC].

Valencia is already a sellout. Every game that Venezuela plays is going to be sold out. I expect a lot from the country because everybody is going to come to support the team. This is the best time of the year for the fans and baseball here in Venezuela because of what it means to the people. This is everything.

This is a great event and one of the best things to happen in Venezuela in a long time. It's been a long time since Venezuela has won the Caribbean Series. Maybe this is the year. I do not know.

“For a warrior, to be inaccessible means that he touches the world around him sparingly. And above all, he deliberately avoids exhausting himself and others. He doesn’t use and squeeze people until they have shriveled to nothing, especially the people he loves.”

The next pope should follow the same steps that made John Paul II known around the world,

“Nothing in this world is a gift. Whatever must be learned must be learned the hard way.”
