I was born to hit a baseball. I can hit a baseball.

It's not the name that makes the player. It's the player.

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.

As an athlete, you only have so much time. The window only has so much time and then it closes. You have to take care of yourself the best you can.

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.

I don't know if the record is going to happen. I don't really think about the record. There are other things I worry about.

My life is in shambles. It is crazy. It couldn't get any crazier. I'm just trying to stay sane.
