"If you want to be famous, you have to be prepared to deal with fame. You have to deal with the fans, you have to deal with TV and all that stuff. Those type things doesn't bother me at all, as long as I do my work and concentrate on my work out, it doesn't bother me at all to do it. Growing up in the Dominican, I wasn't poor like a lot of people down there, I was middle class. Where I didn't have everything, my family they did whatever they can to get me a pair of shoes or a pair of batting gloves and just because of the support I have from my family, that is why I am in the big leagues.
from your post URL link...
Are you so blind? don't you see this was edited to the basics by the writers? I would like you to see the actual recorded short interview and match it with the edited post then come back and debate here that a native Dominican would use the term "The Dominican" as implied in the post, it's used very vaguely and in certain situations for which you would need to have a great command of the Dominican Laguage to place it as is, and futhermore the use of the term in the Dominican by any person it's not more than a perpetuating effect of the use of it by so many newcomers whom think that just because they're understood when they use the term it's a given proper use of the language, just as some pointed out in one other post earlier on the term used to name popcorn at movie theathers in the DR as "Cocalecas" the excuse that they are perfectly serve with a bag of "pacon" doesn't mean it's a term used by the broad Dominican population, stop trying to find an excuse for your terrible understanding of the Dominican language and use it to correct your short commings about it, I don't hear people born in the states calling each other "Gringos", so don't perpetuate a misconception as an actual proper use of the language.
PERIOD
