I think of myself as 'catching' the ball with my bat and letting the pitcher supply the power.

When I was playing, it would be whatever role I wanted. Now it's whatever they ask me to do, which I kind of like better.

It's called talent. I just have it. I can't explain it. You either have it or you don't.

I was a momma's boy. I didn't get anything from Dad, except my body and baseball knowledge. The only time I spent with him was at the ballpark.

Baseball is just my job.

Age is how you feel. If you take care of yourself, you'll be able to do the same things. You may not do it as often. But you can still do it.

It's a relief now to be able to stand next to my godfather and finally feel like I've accomplished something in the game of baseball.
