Piemonte native Williams Wong exclaimed, "I'm happy! This contract represents a starting point and not an arrival point. I am aware that I will have to work a lot with the Texas Rangers. I will find a group of elite athletes who are all motivated to play ball professionally for the American franchise. But it is a dream come true since I was a baby when my dad put a ball in my hand. I've dreamed of getting to play in MLB".
