To be honest, I never imagined we'd get there. We had a great team, the best. I hope we showed everyone what a great sport baseball is.
I've seen a lot of great plays in my five years in the majors. And I know we have enough talent on our team to be able to contend.
I felt the spirit and smartness of the Japanese players while playing with this team. It was a great team and I wish I could play major league games with this team for one season.
