"I am here because I got a call at my work from this young lady telling me that she has her son and that today is his birthday and that he always wanted to meet me. She let me talk to him on the phone."

"I sat down and think about it and I thought that I could blow his mind - do something that I would want someone do for me. I told him on the phone that I would buy a gift for him, but I was going to give him on Sunday because his mom was going to take him to watch me play at MCC since my season opened back. I thought about it and today was his special day - buy a gift and bring it for him so he could feel good."

"Right now I am having "cold seed" just thinking about it. When I was a young boy, that was something that I always wanted. When I was a boy I use to go to the football games to watch "Manu McCauley, Tilliman" - they inspired me. I always wanted to see them every time. To have one of them give me a gift - that would have continue help me to push for my dreams."

Gaynair plays for the Belmopan Bandits which plays its opening game at 4:00 on Sunday afternoon in Belize City.
