I understand business and understand the ugly face of baseball, which is the business part of baseball.

All I can say is, I will put my heart and soul into helping the Red Sox win.

If you want to follow some good steps, it would Proverbs, all over.

My first ball I ever got from a big-league player I actually got to purchase in Dodger Stadium in a silent auction, was Reggie Jackson.

We grew up poor, very poor, but I am very proud of where I come from.

I just try to do what I have to do and let the people out there do what they have to do, which is have fun, scream, yell and jump around. I try to do what I have to do, which is play baseball, and I can only play in that piece of area there, so that's what I try to do.

I'm thankful for not ever taking anything illegal.
