Whether I hit .260 or .320, the bottom line here is to win.

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

I do my best hitting when I'm walking. That means I'm relaxed and my pitch recognition is a lot better.

I had a great year and left my guts out on the field.

It takes a lot of pressure off you just to go out and play, and your talent sometimes shines even more when you don't worry about individual stuff.

Looks aren't the number one thing. They have to have class, intelligence, then looks. If I was the ugliest SOB in the world it would be a lot easier.

You can have fun, respect the game and also play it hard. When you have that combination, you're going to put yourself in a position to be successful.
