Whatever I do, I love to win. I don't care if it's tennis or ping pong, I'll kill myself to win it.

When you build relationships, you get to share your beliefs. It gives you the opportunity to share your faith with other people.

I try to sit down at night before they go to bed and read the Bible with them and do little devotionals and pray with them. I think if you instill it in them when they are young, they'll remember when they grow up. I raise them in church. When the doors are open, I want to be there. My kids love to go. So does my wife.

I wanted to play for the New York Yankees. That was the bottom line. I wanted to be there and play in that new stadium.

I'm not a negative-minded person. But maybe to keep me humble, I look more at my bad games in big situations than good ones.

It gives me great peace to know that no matter how good or how bad I do, the Lord loves me. That's all that really matters to me. Baseball isn't what everything is about. It's about the way I'm being a Christian husband, a Christian father, or the way I'm living my life and trying to be a Christian testimony to people.

I've pitched in a lot of big games.
