Cabrera said that he is often recognized in South Florida although not everyone is initially sure of his name and former status as one of the greatest hitters in baseball history.

"I'm asked, 'Do you play baseball?'" Cabrera said according to Mlive.com.

"No. I played baseball," Cabrera said he often replies.

"No longer. I'm an ex-player. That's hard for me."

Cabrera said that his 12-year-old son Christopher is becoming quite the baseball prodigy despite his young age.

He said that scouts are starting to inquire about his young son via phone calls, but he spurns them by sharing the truth about his current development as a child and growing young baseball star.

"He's too young to be seen. He's not ready yet," Cabrera said he tells scouts who ask about Christopher Cabrera.

"He is very — as we say in criollo (language dialect of people from South or Central America) — very jojoto, very immature."
