Slater O'Brien Quotes
"I'm definitely pumped up," O'Brien said. "It's an exciting opportunity because I'm always grateful to celebrate my Irish heritage. And it's even better to be able to celebrate it with the Blowfish."
On playing for team Ireland: "That was a different experience for sure playing in Europe. It was a lot cooler there than it is here. But to see the passion the fans have for baseball over there was interesting to see."
On how European fans compare to southeastern USA fans: "I mean it's certainly different, but I love playing down here. Our fans are certainly passionate and both areas have a love for the game of baseball."
