You always dream about being on a baseball card. It's kind of funny when you finally see it.

We have a responsibility not just as atheletes, but as members of society to treat people well. To do things the right way.

With what has occurred in my life, the baseball field is where I feel most comfortable. That's what I feel I was born to do and it's what I do best.

I want to be known as Dominican-that's what I am, 100 percent ... I have a duty and responsibility to continue the legacy of Dominicans in baseball.

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.

I'm not a real vocal guy, but sometimes you need to kick someone in the ass.

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