Retirement...wow! Can’t believe it’s here. I am forever grateful for what the game has blessed me with and the friendships I’ve created. I do want to take this opportunity and thank my FAMILY -Mom, Papi, Sis, Manny, Pete. You guys are what made me. I love you guys! I’ll try my best to keep it short and sweet, but those who know me know I can get emotional with this stuff. I can’t thank all you guys enough -Reds, Padres, A’s, Mariners, Indians, White Sox, Rockies and Braves. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. A young Cuban boy with big dreams…
