Let's fight together so this event won't be held every four years but rather every two, so the baseball world won't have to wait so long to enjoy this.

For you, some of the media and press that follow baseball, it might have been a surprise. It's normal for us. This is the way we play baseball in Cuba.

Both teams played great baseball. Two days ago we told everyone to wait patiently for today's game... This is what Cuban baseball is all about. Our players wanted to come back strong after losing in a mercy rule game and they came through.

The most important thing is that baseball and the sport won. The quality of Cuban baseball was demonstrated.

It was a great spectacle. In games like this, baseball wins.

This is Cuban baseball. Cuba is not gone. We're still here to play and whoever wants to beat Cuba will have to sweat it out.

The fans should be happy. That was a great show. They got to watch what baseball is in Cuba.
