More Quotes from Melvin Mora:
Seeing Sammy out of baseball for now is really sad. I think he has enough power to do something for baseball, for someone. I'm surprised no one gave him a chance. This is a guy who brings a lot of fans to the field. This is a guy who can turn any game around any time. But this is baseball. People don't believe he can do it anymore.Melvin Mora

But not as a centre fielder - as a third baseman. I don't have time to prepare myself to get ready for the season. I have to think about my family too.
