00:04The second anillo of champion in the Béisbol of the Great Ligas
00:30The second anillo of champion, he has taken many injuries
00:30That he has caused many injuries
00:32Which he was very well off the title
00:33However he went to a World Series and helped to take all his experience
00:3615 years in the Grand Ligas
00:38Where was the key of that success?
00:40The key was that I was kept
00:43My key was I was kept
00:44I was kept all the time when I was playing
00:46When I was injured, I was kept working hard
00:49Because I knew that the time was coming
00:52And thank God
00:53I made the time to play and play
00:55And I was able to take advantage
00:56I'm not sure what the world was going on.
00:57But I'm not sure what the world was going on.
00:57They were more than a world of 97,
00:59being a novato, connecting the center of the Marlins
01:03to win the Marlins?
01:04Or did you more of the Gigantes connecting the Quadrangular
01:07to win the San Francisco team?
01:09The two are very important for my career.
01:11The two are living in the same way, the same emotion.
01:15I think the two have a little bit in my heart.
01:20I think they were great.
01:22One, because it was the first time with the Marlins,
01:25the first time that the organization won the World Series.
01:28And now in San Francisco,
01:30who had 54 years old and didn't win the World Series,
01:35the truth is that the two are fun.
01:37Of course.
01:38In the Marlins, you write the story
01:40and give the franchise their first title.
01:42It became the most young franchise
01:44in being the World Series champion.
01:46And now the Gigantes had never done it like San Francisco,
01:49but like New York.
01:50And it also remains in the history of this city.
01:52Yes, the truth is that it remains in the history,
01:53because there have been a lot of peloteros,
01:55salones of fame that they couldn't achieve.
01:58And I want to give that happiness to the fans of San Francisco.
02:02Thank God, I put myself in the place of yesterday
02:04to connect to the World Series,
02:06to win the World Series.
02:08And I want to give that happiness
02:10and it's different to the world it is.
02:13And for us,
02:13it's very much to the world you are on the world's top.
02:16And I really want to give that happiness,
02:22so we deserve it.
02:25Yes, but I've learned how...
02:27I'm sponsored by this year.
02:29And that, if not the world's top.
02:35So, we're always excited to be the winner of the World Series,
02:36and you've seen a team.
02:38A great winner of the World Series,
02:38and a professional player a team,
02:38a great winner of the World Series.
02:40Well, if I did it, the truth is that the happiness is double.
02:42And we saw him crying, very emotional, very nostalgic.
02:45What did you think of that moment when his tears were out of his arms?
02:50All the work I've done this year, the truth is that what I've suffered this year with the injuries,
02:58the retirement, or I thought I'd be going to play, I'd be going to continue the injuries.
03:04The truth is that I didn't trust myself, but it was a time that
03:10I said, no, I have to take this out of my head and focus more on what is the game.
03:17And that was what I said, when I was approaching the playoffs,
03:19I knew that I was going to be in the playoffs, I knew that I was going to be focusing
03:23more on the playoffs.
03:25And that was what I said, I took my mind and I focused only on playing the playoffs.
03:32And I think that was the success.
03:33I was going to make it a little bit more.
03:34I remember how funny I could see him.
03:40I was going to be able to see him, I was going to take it over the course of his
03:43eyes,
03:43and I felt like, you know, the pain came to the playoffs.
03:46I thought, you know, you were well-being and going down.
03:57But I always like to be in situations difficult, I'm always prepared, thinking, calculating what I have to do and
04:07what the pitch can I do, like the night of yesterday, the night of yesterday I looked at a single
04:13pitch, that was the one who shot me, that was going to go inside and I was able to get
04:19the control.
04:19The concentration is the key point in that moment when you come to these situations so difficult that you need
04:26to have nerves to be concentrated, to be calm, to not be desperate in the box.
04:31Yes, you have to concentrate a lot, you have to forget the fanatics, you have to forget what is happening
04:38around you and you have to concentrate on the pitch and the pitch that you can throw in that situation
04:44and you are prepared for that.
04:46That was what I always put in my head and what I always try to do in that situation.
04:53And I think that's one of the things that I have to do in my career.
04:57When he hit the ball, you felt that he was going to be in the quadrangular, he hit it in
05:02the center of the ball.
05:03What did he hit by his mind at that moment when he saw that the ball was above the 400
05:08feet of the stadium?
05:09What did he hit by his mind at that moment?
05:10I hit it pretty well, but as the stadium was pretty big, I thought I was going to be a
05:16double, that I was going to hit the ball with the ball, or that I was going to go out
05:22there, but thanks to God the ball was a little bit more and it was gone.
05:28What did he take to this world title and this trophy of the most valuable player?
05:33He always takes to my family, because they suffered what I suffered this year. They continued to support me and
05:42it is for them and for all of Colombia.
05:46Edgar, his last year of contract with the Gigantes, he wants to continue with this organization.
05:51What did he think about it? He even said that he thought about it. He even said that he thought
05:55about it.
05:57After this World Series, after this most valuable player, he impulses to continue?
06:01He wants to continue or he wants to retire?
06:05Well, I'm not going to think about it. The truth is that I have told him that this could be
06:11my last year.
06:12The truth is that God gave me the final of the season and I will think of what I'm going
06:20to do.
06:21If I'm going to continue playing, I will have to prepare again and avoid many injuries.
06:28If not, I will enjoy everything I've done and feel proud of myself.
06:35I will always pray for God to guide me and give me the decision to do it.
06:41Do you see people in the small leagues, people in the middle, people in the middle,
06:44that they can fill those spaces that very soon you will leave, you will leave Orlando Cabrera
06:48and that we only see that Ernesto Frieri arrived with the parents of San Diego.
06:52Yes, of course, of course.
06:53He will come a Colombian who will do everything we have done now.
06:57I hope that he will do better and he will achieve more things that we have not been able to
07:03achieve.
07:03And I hope that he will be soon to arrive, and that he will be soon to arrive
07:10and that when he is already retired, all of us, the pride of God.
07:16Do you think when this season started, that it would be a fantastic year, so wonderful?
07:21No, never.
07:22No, never.
07:23The lessons came from the first week, the second week of the season.
07:31And then everything started to decline, put in my hand.
07:36But when you are able to work hard, when you want to do something in your life, you can achieve
07:42it.
07:43And you are recovered from the lessons.
07:45Thank God, I felt very good. I felt very good in all the playoffs. I felt very good in the
07:49World Series.
07:50And I think that was the result of the production I had.
07:53Any advice, Edgar, for the peloteros that start?
07:56No, dedication. Dedication, work.
07:59I think that is what leads you to the highest level.
08:04Discipline, which is the most important thing.
08:06I think that if you have these three things, and the love of sport, you will achieve it.
