People were criticizing me as if I deserved to be killed."En una entrevista exclusiva para Univision Noticias, 'Big Papi' habla del ataque que sufrió hace tres meses.
— Univision Noticias September 13, 2019 "When the bullet hit me, the first thing I felt was like a sting. The first five seconds I thought I was having a nightmare. [Then] a man named Eliezer, who I am very thankful for, he helped me and took me to the hospital," he recalled. "I was feeling something that I had never felt before and that was just the feeling of trying to survive," he added.
