Miami Marlins manager Ozzie Guillen is under fire over comments
published last week in which he appeared to express his love for Cuban
dictator Fidel Castro.
Guillen, speaking in the Marlins' dugout before today's game at Philadelphia, said he plans to fly back to Miami tomorrow morning to face the media and public.
He says he feels "guilty" and "embarrassed" and wants to address questions personally after sparking controversy with his remarks to Time magazine.
"I want to make everything clear what's going on. Then people can see
me and know what I think," Guillen said. "I think it's the proper thing
so people can see my eyes."
"I want to get the thing over with. I told the Marlins I want to fly (back) as soon as I can, and tomorrow's a day off. I don't want to (talk about it) in Philadelphia."
"I want to be in Miami and clear everything up."
"I want them to know I'm against everything 100 percent - I will repeat it again - the way this man (has been) treating people for the last 60 years."
"I want the people there. Whoever feels about it, ask me any questions. I want you to ask what you ask, because I feel bad? Yes. I feel embarrassed? Yes."
