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.

I've learned in my career, it is much better to be recognized for all the great things you do on the field.

You must be present to win.

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

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

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

If my life depended on it - if my daughter's life depended on it - I'd want Mariano Rivera closing. Wouldn't you?
