Carlos Delgado Puerto Quotations

Non-professionally, Cuba is one of the best teams in the world. Everyone hears about what a great reputation the Cuban ball club has. A lot of people want to see Cuba measure up against a professional team so that's going to draw a lot of attention. In Puerto Rico everybody is looking forward to the game against Cuba. I think it's all about bragging rights.

I think the unique thing about this type of event is that you have players playing against other players you never play against. Especially in Puerto Rico, we're excited about having a game against Cuba.

I think there's going to be a lot of emotions, having the opportunity to represent your country in front of the home crowd. I'm proud of being Puerto Rican. Obviously, we think this is a big deal.

There've been so many battles between the Puerto Rican nationals and Cuba in tournaments like the Pan American Games. Fans in Puerto Rico know a lot about Cuban baseball.

I'm proud of being Puerto Rican, obviously we think this is a big deal. If someone else doesn't I respect their opinion. We're just going to go out and try to win.

This is a very unique opportunity. It is once in a lifetime and you have to make exceptions and adjustments. I am proud of being Puerto Rican, and we think this is a big deal.

We'll respect what Ms. or Mrs. Robinson said. I think that Jackie Robinson was an icon and he opened a lot of doors for African-American players. But having said that, we cannot overlook all the work that Roberto Clemente has done for Puerto Rico and Latin America. I'm 100% behind having No. 21 retired.
