Dear Mr.Jeron Kennis Royster.During the three years I have been with you (you may not know me though) as a strong supporter, I realised something that I had never known since baseball became a part of my life, which is baseball is not just the game where only the winner can survive after beating the looser by any means. You taught me baseball is the game in which we enjoy the way the players we love are playing and the way we support them in or out of the ground.
The time you came to our team whose standing for last 8 years was '8888577' which was so disappointing that people had been calling it 'Security Number' as a joke, (You might have heard of it, I guess.) I almost gave up the chance for 'Giants' to be in the 'Final Four, because of the poor performance they had shown for nearly a decade. It was as if whenever I watched the Giants' game I always had a feeling like 'Could we win the game?'and 'What if we lost?'. This uneasy thought occurred to me even in the situation we were winning by many scores. Not to mention that it happened when we were loosing, no matter how many innings left to the end of the game or how many runners are on the base. I could hardly imagine 'Giants' overtaking other teams at any circumstances. At least for me, that is the way I looked at 'Giants' at the time and it was an ordeal for sure from which I was suffering for a long time.
You have changed 'Giants'. You have changed the way we see 'Giants'. You have changed the way 'Giants' face the games'. You made us be in the ground and around the TV cheering our players who determined to do their best and never give up. I cannot say thank you much enough to you for having been our head coach for three years which I will never forget for the rest of my life. Although now I am writing what looks like a farewell word, I won't say 'Good Bye' to you. I believe you will be back someday with the same neighborhood-uncle-like image you have showed us. I loved you and I will love you.
Yours sincerely.
Alex.
Yours sincerely.
Alex.
