Remarks by Patrick Faber, Catcher for Tokyo Pearls
Written and Transcribed by Special Assistant, Stevie Reed
“I thought we had a good chat an all this morning, but he said the team needed a better listener behind the plate or something - I honestly can’t remember, it happened pretty fast. Basically, the new manager going in a different direction at catcher. Hope it wasn’t because I put whipped cream in his shoe a few days ago - the guys love that one. I know I can still play and hit dingers and all, only two years removed from the All-Star game. All I can hope for is a team takes another chance on me, is looking for a spark in the clubhouse, and I get some better at bats. Coach said I’m on the waiver wire and designated for assignment, so I’ll just have to wait and see for my next opportunity - hopefully it won’t be too long.
I’m going to miss the guys. But I’ll help out in whatever way I can until I can’t any more. Tokyo fans have shown nothing but support, I’ll bring my pearls with me to my next endeavor, or give them to a lucky lady in the next baseball town I call home. No hard feelings, it’s just baseball, I guess…”
