Pena, 34, defected from Cuba when he was 16 and became a United States citizen in 2008. On Independence Day, he wrote on Twitter, “I find myself happy with the simple things: FAMILY, FREEDOM, DEMOCRACY. With blessings from God & all that is possible, thanks to USA. … We lost a tough game today but in my (heart) there (are) no losers today. There is only one real winner: USA for (being) the GREATEST COUNTRY ON EARTH.”
