food great heights including latin playing reminds special strong surrounded washington york
Playing in New York is special to me because you are surrounded by so many communities and a strong Latin community, including the Washington Heights neighborhood. I come to Washington Heights for real Dominican food that reminds me of my hometown, and it's a great place to visit.

I just said, 'God, this at bat is my first one (in the playoffs) and we've got to take a lead. We're playing away and if you can help me I can get a hit in this at-bat right here,'

It was very disappointing, but there are two games left.

It was tough to see. I didn't see it.

It was a changeup, but I was trying to stay right in the middle, ... I was so excited for that, because I was trying to come up with a base hit to put a man on second with no outs.

I spend more time in New York than the Dominican. I play here, I live here, so why not become a citizen?

Everything was right. I just missed it. It's disappointing.
knew saw sitting soon team
As soon I saw the roster (I knew I wasn't going to play). They're going to have (Alfonso) Soriano and (Luis) Castillo. If I go there, I'll be sitting on the bench. For me, I think it's better to be with the team in Tampa.

As soon as I hit it, I (said), 'Go over, go over,' ... When I saw he went to pick up the ball, I just started running.

My foot was on the bag and he said I wasn't on the base,
trying
I'm always working hard, trying to get better every year. I don't want to do the same thing every year. I want to keep getting better and better.
year
I had two strikes. I wanted to take my chance. It's something I've been working on all year in the big leagues, to use the whole field.
