We just do it for our country. Now we play for our country. We know there are a lot of people just watching the games and a lot of people believe in us. That's why we just came up and we were a little nervous. We're nervous just because we want to do something for our country.

We would go out to eat, and I would never pay. They would buy me clothes. They tried to show me the major league way. I try to do the same thing for young players.
