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.

It's absolutely amazing what happens when you're consistent in your walk and you're consistent in the way you live your life.

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

I count it an honor to play with some guys that I've watched play on television, and may be in the Hall of Fame some day.

You've got to have camaraderie or togetherness on a baseball team if you want to win.

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.

You know how you just don't like guys on the other team sometimes? It's funny because growing up I loved Roger (Clemens), loved to watch Roger pitch. Then when I was first in the big leagues and he was for the other team, I hated him.
