I think Eric just embodies what we want here with the Dodgers. He's passionate about winning -- he knows it's all about the fans so he wears his heart on his sleeve and he gives back to the community. He's a big part of the community -- he's the face of the Dodgers and that's very, very important. The community respects that because he gives back. Frank McCourt

At one time he had a dream of going into a dark alleyway with his father and only one of them would come out. He'd be the one, of course, but out there in Stanford, he began to think about his father and what it was like coming from Korea, working day and night selling fruit and vegetables when he knew barely enough English to get through the day, hanging on, desperate for his children to get the education he never had in Korea, that you couldn't even dream of in Korea. - Frank McCourt Quotes](/pic/img/img.php?text=W0Fub3RoZXIgc3R1ZGVudCwgS2VuLCB0aGUgc29uIG9mIEtvcmVhbiBpbW1pZ3JhbnRzLCBlbnJhZ2VzIGhpcyBhbWJpdGlvdXMgZmF0aGVyIHdoZW4gaGUgZGVjaWRlcyB0byBnbyB0byBTdGFuZm9yZCwgaW5zdGVhZCBvZiBIYXJ2YXJkIG9yIE0uSS5ULiBhcyBoaXMgZmF0aGVyIGhhZCBob3BlZC5dIEhlIGFwcGVhcmVkIGF0IG15IGNsYXNzcm9vbSBkb29yIGEgZmV3IGRheXMgYmVmb3JlIENocmlzdG1hcyBhbmQgdG9sZCBtZSBJIGhhZCBoZWxwZWQgaGltIGdldCB0aHJvdWdoIHRoZSBsYXN0IHllYXIgb2YgaGlnaCBzY2hvb2wsIC4uLiBBdCBvbmUgdGltZSBoZSBoYWQgYSBkcmVhbSBvZiBnb2luZyBpbnRvIGEgZGFyayBhbGxleXdheSB3aXRoIGhpcyBmYXRoZXIgYW5kIG9ubHkgb25lIG9mIHRoZW0gd291bGQgY29tZSBvdXQuIEhlJ2QgYmUgdGhlIG9uZSwgb2YgY291cnNlLCBidXQgb3V0IHRoZXJlIGluIFN0YW5mb3JkLCBoZSBiZWdhbiB0byB0aGluayBhYm91dCBoaXMgZmF0aGVyIGFuZCB3aGF0IGl0IHdhcyBsaWtlIGNvbWluZyBmcm9tIEtvcmVhLCB3b3JraW5nIGRheSBhbmQgbmlnaHQgc2VsbGluZyBmcnVpdCBhbmQgdmVnZXRhYmxlcyB3aGVuIGhlIGtuZXcgYmFyZWx5IGVub3VnaCBFbmdsaXNoIHRvIGdldCB0aHJvdWdoIHRoZSBkYXksIGhhbmdpbmcgb24sIGRlc3BlcmF0ZSBmb3IgaGlzIGNoaWxkcmVuIHRvIGdldCB0aGUgZWR1Y2F0aW9uIGhlIG5ldmVyIGhhZCBpbiBLb3JlYSwgdGhhdCB5b3UgY291bGRuJ3QgZXZlbiBkcmVhbSBvZiBpbiBLb3JlYS4g&author=ICBGcmFuayBNY0NvdXJ0ICAgIA==&num=2 "[Another student, Ken, the son of Korean immigrants, enrages his ambitious father when he decides to go to Stanford, instead of Harvard or M.I.T. as his father had hoped.] He appeared at my classroom door a few days before Christmas and told me I had helped him get through the last year of high school, ...
