==============================================================================
Born: November 27, 1971
I grew up in a small town in Puerto Rico called Vega Baja. It’s out in the
country. My mom was a hairstylist back then. My dad, he was an electrician. Our
parents worked hard for us. They didn’t make a lot of money. We lived day to
day, but we were a family.
出生:11月27日,1971
我在波多黎各鄉下一個叫做Vega Baja的小鎮長大，我母親是個美髮師，我父親則是個水電
工，雙親為了我們非常努力地工作，雖然他們並沒有賺很多錢。這就是我們的生活，但我們
是一家人。
1975
I was just a typical kid. For fun, I’d ride my bike in the neighborhood or
skateboard. I played basketball with my friends. My parents made sure I tried
out every sport I could before deciding on one. Believe it or not, I was a
really good volleyball player.
1975
我就是一個很典型的小孩子，我總是為了尋找樂趣騎著腳踏車或是滑板在街區中穿梭。我也
跟我的朋友們打籃球，我的父母盡所可能讓我嘗試各種不同運動直到我決定該在哪個運動花
費心力。信不信由你，我曾經排球打得很好呢！
1976
Growing up, my parents were all about respect. And they were strict. My brother
and I knew that when we came home from school, we had to go in and finish all
of our homework right away. Then we’d have an hour or two when we could go
outside and play. But it was a rule in my house that we all had to be together
for dinner. That was mandatory. It wasn’t, One person is eating and then
another one comes later. No. It was always 6:30, 6:45, we’d be eating dinner
together, as a family.
1976
成長的過程中，父母相當重視我們，同時也相當地嚴格。我的兄弟跟我都知道當我們從學校
回到家的時候，必須趕快完成所有的功課，之後我們才有一或兩個小時的時間可以出去玩，
但是在我們家有一條規則是必須所有人都一起吃晚餐，這非常重要！從來沒發生過，有人正
在吃飯而另外一人姍姍來遲的情景。
總是在6:30或是6:45.我們一家人都會一起吃著晚餐。
1978
I started really focusing on baseball at the age of seven. Pretty much my whole
family played baseball, and at the time both my dad and my mom were playing in
softball leagues. I loved the game from Day One. I actually used to be a
pitcher and a third baseman. That’s how I started. But my dad was my first
coach, and he noticed pretty quickly that I had a strong arm. So one day he sat
me down and told me, “You are not going to pitch or play third base anymore,
you’re gonna be a catcher. And I think you’re gonna be a good catcher.” I
immediately started crying. I didn’t want to catch. I wanted to be a third
baseman and hit home runs. He said, “You can cry as much as you want, but you’
re gonna catch from now on.” I was eight years old.
I cried for about 15 minutes. But from that point on, I was a catcher.
1978
當我七歲的時候我開始專注在棒球上，幾乎我所有的家人都在打棒球，我的父親與母親也
同時在打壘球聯盟，我從第一天開始就熱愛這個運動！
在一開始的時候，我曾經是個投手以及三壘手，但是我的第一位教練也是我的父親，他很快
地注意到我有一條強壯的手臂。
所以有一天他坐下來跟我說:「你不會再當投手或是三壘手了，你要當一個捕手，而且我想
你會是一個好捕手！」，我立刻開始哭泣，我不想接球，我想當個三壘手並且打出全壘打。
「你可以盡量地哭，想哭就哭，但是從現在開始你就要當捕手！」
他這樣對著我說，當年我只有八歲。我哭了大概十五分鐘，但是從那時候開始我就是捕手
