no, please.
americans? journalists?
ah! i put my autograph on this ball.
when you get back to the united states, i want you to give this ball to tippy martinez for me. he is from nicaragua.
you come, eh? can they come with us?
koufax is okay.  but tippy martinez, he is the best.  he pitches for the baltimore orioles, and some day i will be the second man from nicaragua to play in the major leagues.
you will give my autographed baseball to tippy and tell him in five years i will be pitching with him, okay? he better watch out for me, eh?
no, no.  you are not combatants. the baltimore team is my team.
