Keiichi Yabu Quotations

It's too bad I couldn't stay with the A's, but I'm not disappointed. I don't think I performed at my best level this year, and I'd like to improve next year. I'm positive about it and looking to play in the States again.

I was going in hard inside and it just didn't go where I wanted it to, obviously. I wanted to get the groundball double play but it didn't turn out that way. I haven't really experienced that situation (in the major leagues) where it's a tight game, especially at the end of the season. I'd like to apply that to my next game.

It's a good event. I'm not the only one, so it's not too intimidating.

I obviously wanted to get the ground-ball out and the double play, but that didn't happen.
