Maracas and other fiends that grew up in San Juan in the 50's will always remember the good life we all had.
He and Ramon Carraso played so much baseball together that I Armando Segura will always hold close to my heart. Fiends like them and a few other can not be found that easy.
I have prayed for your family ever since I was told abut your passing. I know that with the strong love and family values everyone will be OK!
Currently I have been given a pacemaker and have had medical problem that will keep me from attending.
The next time I visit Ramon I will say "now you can play all the ball the two of you want."
