I wanted to win, even in practice.

Whenever I was on the pitch, I always tried to win.

I was not successful as a ball player, as it was a game of skill.

I always played to win.

In baseball, I was always in control of everything until I let the ball go.

You want to have your hand on the ball every single play.

I have always passed the ball and worked on that part of my game.

I'm just a ballplayer with one ambition, and that is to give all I've got to help my ball club win. I've never played any other way.

I earned the right to get in the team, and fought every game to be in it.

Everything I did that required effort, I opened my mouth. Even to catch a ball, I opened my mouth.
