Whenever someone has the ability to impact people's lives, I think that's one of the greatest things that God gives us as individuals.

Over my career, I think I've shown can make a big pitch.

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.

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'm going to give up hits, so I'm going to need to get some ground balls, double plays and stuff like that. That's just kind of my game.

He (Tommy Pettitte [father] coached me as kid. He bought all the books and videos and tried to learn as much about pitching as he could. But once I was in high school, he never tried to be my coach.
