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

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

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

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

My mother's the most special person in my life ... I consider her my MVP: Most Valuable Parent.

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.
