It’s out in the country. My mom was a hairstylist back then. My dad, he was an electrician. Our parents worked hard for us. They didn’t make a lot of money. We lived day to day, but we were a family. 出生:11月27日,1971 我在波多黎各乡下一个叫做Vega Baja的小镇长大，我母亲是个美发师，我父亲则是个水电 工，双亲为了我们非常努力地工作，虽然他们并没有赚很多钱。这就是我们的生活，但我们 是一家人。 1975 I was just a typical kid. For fun, I’d ride my bike in the neighborhood or skateboard. I played basketball with my friends. My parents made sure I tried out every sport I could before deciding on one. Believe it or not, I was a really good volleyball player. 1975 我就是一个很典型的小孩子，我总是为了寻找乐趣骑着脚踏车或是滑板在街区中穿梭。我也 跟我的朋友们打篮球，我的父母尽所可能让我尝试各种不同运动直到我决定该在哪个运动花 费心力。信不信由你，我曾经排球打得很好呢！ 1976 Growing up, my parents were all about respect. And they were strict. My brother and I knew that when we came home from school, we had to go in and finish all of our homework right away. Then we’d have an hour or two when we could go outside and play. But it was a rule in my house that we all had to be together for dinner. That was mandatory. It wasn’t, One person is eating and then another one comes later. No. It was always 6:30, 6:45, we’d be eating dinner together, as a family. 1976 成长的过程中，父母相当重视我们，同时也相当地严格。我的兄弟跟我都知道当我们从学校 回到家的时候，必须赶快完成所有的功课，之後我们才有一或两个小时的时间可以出去玩， 但是在我们家有一条规则是必须所有人都一起吃晚餐，这非常重要！从来没发生过，有人正 在吃饭而另外一人姗姗来迟的情景。 总是在6:30或是6:45.我们一家人都会一起吃着晚餐。 1978 I started really focusing on baseball at the age of seven. Pretty much my whole family played baseball, and at the time both my dad and my mom were playing in softball leagues. I loved the game from Day One. I actually used to be a pitcher and a third baseman. That’s how I started. But my dad was my first coach, and he noticed pretty quickly that I had a strong arm. So one day he sat me down and told me, “You are not going to pitch or play third base anymore, you’re gonna be a catcher. And I think you’re gonna be a good catcher.” I immediately started crying. I didn’t want to catch. I wanted to be a third baseman and hit home runs. He said, “You can cry as much as you want, but you’ re gonna catch from now on.” I was eight years old. I cried for about 15 minutes. But from that point on, I was a catcher. 1978 当我七岁的时候我开始专注在棒球上，几乎我所有的家人都在打棒球，我的父亲与母亲也 同时在打垒球联盟，我从第一天开始就热爱这个运动！ 在一开始的时候，我曾经是个投手以及三垒手，但是我的第一位教练也是我的父亲，他很快 地注意到我有一条强壮的手臂。 所以有一天他坐下来跟我说:「你不会再当投手或是三垒手了，你要当一个捕手，而且我想 你会是一个好捕手！」，我立刻开始哭泣，我不想接球，我想当个三垒手并且打出全垒打。 「你可以尽量地哭，想哭就哭，但是从现在开始你就要当捕手！」 他这样对着我说，当年我只有八岁。我哭了大概十五分钟，但是从那时候开始我就是捕手 --
