"Players are public figures, you've got to understand this if you get involved with professional baseball," says Macoto Cobras executive manager Wang Cheng-fong, echoing the views of Lin Hua-wei. "Society naturally has different expectations about public figures, and it is our social responsibility to maintain an image of a spirit of sport that is upbeat, hard-working, and never-say-die."
「球員是公眾人物，加入職棒就必須有這個認知，」誠泰 COBRAS 隊執行經理王澄豐呼應林華韋的看法，「只要是公眾人物，在待人接物各方面，社會就會有不同水準的要求，而維護一個充滿陽光、奮力向上、不屈不撓的運動精神形象，就是我們的社會責任。」
