Back then it was a different culture. It was very loose. I was young. I was stupid.

I only look forward. I can't get all caught up in what I've done. I still have plenty to accomplish in the game. Hopefully, I'm just scratching the surface.

Fear of failure is what fuels me, keeps me on edge and sharp. I'm not as good when I'm comfortable.

No player should have to go through what I have been dealing with, and I am exhausting all options to ensure not only that I get justice, but that players' contracts and rights are protected through the next round of bargaining.

It's tougher when you're established. Before, I'd see 13, 14, 15 pitches that I could drive in a game. Now, I see one, two or three, so I have to be better.

You can take my cars or my house, just don't mess with my clothes.

I like to score and drive in runs more than pay attention to batting average.
