After 18 yrs of professional baseball, it’s time to hang ‘em up. As a kid, all I wanted was to be a Major League Baseball player. Hearing my name called on draft day and making my MLB debut in 2012 was a dream come true. Playing in Japan, Korea, Mexico and Taiwan were experiences I will never forget. Thank you, God, for blessing me with the gift to play professional baseball. Because of your grace I got to enjoy this game for more than half my life. Thank you, Mom and Dad, for everything you did. All the time and money you sacrificed. The lessons, late nights in the cage, out of town tournaments and skipped vacations because of baseball. You always pushed me to be better and supported me every step of the way. I hope I made you proud. Thank you to all my teammates, coaches, trainers and translators. It was a pleasure getting to share the field with you and I will cherish all the memories we built. Lastly, thank you to my wife. Putting your career on hold to support mine. Picking up your life and moving to 3 different Asian countries. Solo parenting 3 kids. I know this crazy journey was not quite what you signed up for, but you always supported me and I could not have done it without you. This game has taken me all across the globe; 13 organizations in 5 different countries. Baseball does not define who I am, but it has helped shape the person I’ve become. I am eternally grateful for this career and can’t wait for what God has in store next! -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 118.165.0.240 (臺灣) ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Lions/M.1756092889.A.48D.html
