I think the message has been delivered. Baseball is baseball in all parts of the world be it in the big leagues, be it amateur. You have to value baseball as such. It's not about the price of the player but the heart with which the baseball is played. Our team is a team that has fought for unity. The soul of our team is unity. There aren't any stars.
More Quotes from Frederich Cepeda:
Everybody saw Cuba as a smaller team. They saw other teams as greater. Yet here we are. Nothing is impossible. You will see in the final. We're prepared for this mentally and physically.Frederich Cepeda
For us this was very big because everybody saw Cuba as a smaller team. They thought of the other teams, greater teams, bigger teams, powerful. They thought we could never win against Venezuela, that we did not have any possibility or any chances. And here you have it. We know how to play under pressure.

Santana did what he does best, he's a good pitcher and we were waiting for him to come back out. But then he was finished, he was taken out. They decided to take him out, but he had control over the way he was pitching.

We are all amateur players, therefore playing against major league players is the greatest victory for us.
Frederich Cepeda
What Cuba has shown to the world is not only that we could play up to par with other major leaguers. We are not professional, we are amateur. We don't get paid for doing this. We deserve a high place in baseball because we do this with sacrifice, with human value and courage and sportsmanship, and because we give our utmost in order to come to the field and show what good baseball is all about.
