"If I didn’t think I could do it, I wouldn’t be here. This will be the first time a Japanese catcher has played in the big leagues, so it will be a new experience for everyone. I will try hard to learn English, but there are other ways to communicate besides language. I will get to know all our pitchers. The job of catching is the same, whether in Japan or the United States – it starts with your relationship with pitchers." - Kenji Johjima in The News Tribune (Larry Larue, 01/25/2006)
