I guess anytime you are mentioned with Hank Aaron, it is the ultimate compliment, not only as a hitter, but obviously, the great ballplayer that he was.

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 just don't see the light. Where is the light? What am I in this for?

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

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

There is a difference between image and reputation. Image is nice. Reputation is developed over an entire career. Reputation is what I'm searching for.

I’m fighting for my life, I have to defend myself. If I don’t defend myself, no one else will.
