It's not the first case, but it's up to the organization to decide. I personally hope they keep him around so I can hit him again. I don't have many words for it. To be one of the greatest of all time and do all that, man, get over it. This problem you have, whatever it is, just get over it, man. You are one of the best in the world. I don’t understand,” Reyes said.
