In my heart and mind, I know I can hit anybody. I'm always relaxed. It's hard to explain. It's like playing with my kids. It feels natural.

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

If they don't know the Lord, I encourage them to search for and open their hearts and their eyes. If something happens to me tomorrow, I'm going to go to heaven and that's for sure because God's promised to us in the Bible. I want to make sure that those people out there feel the same. At the end of the day as long as I glorify him and those 45,000 people know who I represent out there every time I step out on the field, that's what it's about. It's about representing God.

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

Every year it gets tougher and tougher. Mentally and physically. That's why you need to train and prepare.

I don't think there's anything out there I can be afraid of.

I'm going to be prayerful about it. Whatever decision I make hopefully is the best decision I can make for my family and the fans and everybody.
