I try to spend as much time as possible with God and my family. That's more important than anything I'm doing in baseball.

I don't want to be too stiff, because then my hands won't be as quick.

I thought about it a lot (losing the 2002 NLCS). It's something you have to go home and wrap it up because if you keep thinking about it, you're going to take that to Spring Training and you're not going to be able to concentrate on your work.

There is only one El Hombre and that is Stan Musial.

There's three things that as a professional athlete you want. You want to get to the big leagues, and I accomplished that. Winning a World Series ring, I got that. And then getting to the Hall of Fame. That's everybody's dream. Every athlete, they want to be up there in the Hall of Fame, mentioned with the greatest players to ever play this game.

I know I'm good when I'm hitting the ball the other way - that's Albert Pujols.
