I would like to thank my family who is proud of me and always encouraged me in sports. When I was little my grandmother and I always watched the Major League Baseball Playoffs and World Series. I thank God she was able to see me sign a Baseball contract. I want to thank all my coaches who saw something in me, and pushed me to be the best I could be. Playing sports has taught me to be humble, persevere, and be a team player. I am very grateful to be inducted into the PIL Hall Of Fame.
