Thank you Taiwan. Thank you for all the amazing memories that will last a lifetime. I came here 4 years ago to play baseball and now it is a place I consider my second home.
I want to thank the CTBC brothers and the front office for taking a chance on me 4 years ago. Thank you for making Taiwan feel like home for me and my family.
Thank you to all my teammate for always playing with the same love and passion i tried to everyday. I will miss going to battle with you all. Thank you for becoming more than teammates, we became life long friends.
To all the fans. Thank you for you unconditional love and support over the last 4 years. Without you all I would never be able to play the game I love. You all have showed me and my family such amazing love. I am truly grateful to have played in front of you all, your support meant the world to me. I will miss seeing your smiling faces everyday.
Thank you to my wife Kirby Lively and son Colton for always being here for me. Whether we are together or thousands of miles apart you have always given me motivation and love to push on. I wouldn’t have been able to play here without your love and unconditional support.
The country of taiwan is absolutely amazing, being able to call it home was an absolute privilege. The people, culture and communities are truly special and will have a special place in my heart for the rest of my life. I am truly thankful for my experience here, it has changed me for the better.
( no I am not retiring)
謝謝你台灣！謝謝你給了我很多一輩子難忘的回憶。四年前我來到這裡打棒球，而四年後這裡成為了我第二個家。
我要感謝中信兄弟球團，在四年前給了我機會來到台灣，也感謝你們讓我還有我的家人在台灣就像在家一樣自在。
同時也要感謝所有的球迷，謝謝你們的愛戴以及過去四年所有的支持。少了你們，我無法在我最愛的棒球場上投球。不只是我，球迷們也對我的家人們非常關心也親切。可以在大家面前投球，我真的感到很榮幸。你們的支持對我來說意義深重，往後的每一天，我一定會記住曾經在觀眾席上歡心為我應援的每一張笑臉。
台灣這個國家真的很棒，能夠讓我把它當成第二個家更是我的榮幸。這裡的人們、文化還有所有的生活事物對我來說都很特別，已經在我心中佔有一部分重要的位置。我真的感到很感激可以來到台灣，在台灣的一切也成為我人生的轉捩點，讓我往更棒的人生邁進。
