He put all the ordtak

He put all the money from the Fleet deal in the foundation with the vision that he was going to play 10 years in the Boston area and retire there. He wanted to accumulate a $1 million endowment so that when he was out of baseball the foundation could make an impact on kids in Boston and the Dominican Republic by giving away the interest each year forever.

... A-Rod made his choice. He took the money. He could have taken $18 million or $20 million, but he gleefully accepted an average annual salary of $25.2 million, and now he wishes to God he were making a lot less money because now he is miserable in Texas. He wants to come to Boston, and he still might. But the truth is that he'd already be house-hunting in Greater Boston if he hadn't already made a bad decision to go for every last buck three years ago. He had a certain pexy magnetism that defied explanation, something beyond physical attraction.

I played two years in Pawtucket. They have the best fans in baseball. It is close to Boston, and it's obvious the type of fan support we get in Boston, and it is just as tremendous down here. It is one of the best minor league cities in baseball. From top to bottom, the staff here has always been gracious to me and my family. Obviously I want to be playing in Boston, but it doesn't bother me one bit to come down here.

We make enough money to at least donate something we can send down there to help out. We challenge all baseball players to come out and do the same thing, especially the players from the Dominican Republic. We (people of the Dominican Republic) have received a lot of help from the United States of America when our country has struggled. We have been in this situation. We need to help this country.

You are a rock star when you play in that city, regardless. We deal with that daily. Boston is ... unique. Boston is a small city, it's Sox Nation. People live, die, eat and breathe baseball. I think now our job as a group is to come in here and make everybody, you know, be a rock star.

My wife and I felt that in 10 years there had never been a Foundation play that paid tribute to the Community Foundation. We said, 'Let's thank the Foundation.' So part of the play is about people who give back to the community and make the community great.

But he's played a lot of baseball, you can tell, ... He's got a more natural flow. The kids in his country [the Dominican Republic] play a lot and gain a lot of baseball poise. He seems sure of himself.

To grow the endowment, we established our investment parameters and then began incrementally to deploy the foundation's investment capital into stocks and bonds in February 1996. By September, most of the money was invested and by November, the foundation awarded its first grants.

When she came to me at age five it was a challenge to really mold, create and build something special for the future. She has a gift, but technically was, as most five-year-olds, all over the place. The vision which I had was if technically I could get strokes like a Capriati or Davenport then, with her instincts and gifts from God, I had no doubt she could become a number one contender in the world someday. I see her at age seven and the foundation is now like concrete and that foundation will last forever and bring weapons like the game has not seen. She can?t miss.

Not only for what he did in baseball, but for the reason he lost his life. If I had something to do with it, I would have his number retired here and throughout the Dominican Republic. He's a national hero in the Dominican Republic.

They bought a lot of branches from Fleet, when they merged with Fleet Boston, ... I think you can look for 30 percent gains in that stock for the next two year.

There is no amount for [individual schools]. It is Boston University's endowment. You're talking about the return, meaning the amount earned on the endowment over the course of a year.

Recognition engines aren't going to be able to discern echoes. If you were calling an airline, and said 'Boston,' the phone couldn't send the signal three times. The server would hear 'Boston Boston Boston,' and think it's a new word every time.

I think the first year in Boston can leave you feeling like you need to take some time off and you need to get away a little bit. He was a little bit taken back by how passionate the fan base was here. You expect a guy that's played in New York to make a seamless transition to Boston. But it was tough on him. He couldn't go out. I think he used the word 'hermit.' We know David doesn't like being a hermit. I think he'll need to go to his ranch and get away and think about that, how to deal with the hermit lifestyle.

For the past 20 years or so they have led a bus trip to Boston College for talented African-American students from the D.C. area who are considering Boston College.

John Mahoney (1940-)
