[新聞] A-Rod's Journal Oct. 11, 2006

[pathfinder (視角年代)]

I honestly never thought I would be writing this entry so early in October,
but unfortunately it's the end of another season for the Yankees and me.
Words can't possibly describe how disappointed I am that the season is over
this soon. Simply put, the Detroit Tigers played all-around great baseball.
They beat us in every facet of the game. They earned those three victories,
and absolutely deserve to move on to the ALCS.


After we were eliminated on Saturday, the media asked me a lot of questions
regarding my future in New York -- whether I want to leave, or if I will be
traded, etc. I will tell you what I told them: I am 100 percent committed to
being a Yankee now and in the future. I don't want to play anywhere else. I
never have (and never will) run away from the responsibility I have to this
team. I believe I am part of the solution to winning a championship here. I
want to finish my career in New York.

Even though I wish the Yankees were playing for three more weeks, now that
the offseason is here, I can look forward to spending lots of time with my
family and friends. I'll head home to Miami later this week. The offseason
promises to be busy -- the AROD Family Foundation fundraiser in November, the
AROD Basketball Classic in December, my daughter's second birthday ... there
will be lots of events to keep me busy. But baseball will always be in the
back of my mind. I'm already preparing to come back -- to put 2006 behind me,
and prepare for a successful 2007 season.

You know, lost in all this postseason drama is the fact that the game of
baseball lost a great man with the passing of Negro Leagues legend, Buck
O'Neil. I had the honor of knowing Mr. O'Neil. He was an inspiration to me.
He was an inspiration to anyone who ever met him. He will be missed dearly,
but his legacy will live forever in our hearts. I highly encourage all of
you take some time and learn about this amazing man and his many
contributions to the game.

I want to close by thanking everyone for the tremendous support you have
shown me at the ballpark and in your e-mails and messages.

Until next time, I wish all of you well.
