...thing about R.J. and I that I treasure most is that I've got a friend for life. We?ve become very good friends, and I would like to think that after baseball R.J. will still be a very good friend of mine. And you don't get a lot of those in the game. He?s a good guy.

Taufik: I don't know Marimutu, only his secretary. Jacob is an old friend of mine. I know there's a risk and that people will say things, but I don't want to go back to the Suharto era of stigmas when they say you can't hang out with this person or that person.
