People ask me if I believe how quickly my career has taken off. I just tell them that Jesus Christ is my strength. God has blessed me and I will continue to do my best for him. That is more important than anything I could ever do in baseball.

I hope by the time that I'm done in this game, I can have half the numbers Stan Musial had in his career.

I believe it is my responsibility to do what I can for children and people with Down syndrome as well as in my native Dominican Republic.

I don't know why people say I'm not supposed to be doing what I'm doing. I'm just trying to do my job. I'm blessed, and I'm glad that I'm blessed.

I trust that I can hit a fastball, that I can hit any pitch they throw to me.

Hopefully, at the end of my career, I can look back and say, 'Wow, what a game it was in Game 3 in 2011'.
