I'm a terrible singer. I feel lucky to play baseball. You can't be gifted in everything.

I've done a lot of special things in this game, and for none of that to be considered clutch, it's an injustice.

Why do people sing Take Me Out to The Ballgame when they're already there?

I believe a champion wins in his mind first, then plays the game, not the other way around.

I'm not impulsive at all - except about buying clothes. That's my biggest weakness.

Playing the game was the easy part. The real work was in the preparation.

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