It's such a beautiful sport, with no politics involved, no color, no class. Only as a youngster can you play and as a pro can you win. The game has kept me young, involved and excited and for me to be up here with gems of baseball.

We didn't just play a baseball game, we brought together many Koreans. Each player is trying to win the game, but it's not only about the game. We're bringing Korean people together. I'm really happy for the country. I really hope Japan wins the championship.

There are three things you can do in a baseball game. You can win, or you can lose, or it can rain.

That's the only reason I'm here. I don't need to play the game for any other reason than to win a championship.

I don't think the game got away from Kenny. He pitched well enough to win. We just did some things and didn't help ourselves.
