Not one day goes by when I don't remind myself of how grateful I am for those who came before me over the last 25 years. When I see players like Mike Schmidt and Johnny Bench, I thank them.

I want to be the best, and the best work. You have to earn what you get, and you have to work to keep it.

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

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 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.

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