I feel my time in baseball has come and gone. I feel like I had a great career. I had a lot of fun and have a lot of great memories. At one point in time, I'll be able to tell it all. Right now that's in the past. I see things differently. I more want to help.

I don't ever remember having any bad times here in Pittsburgh.

I like to be against the odds. I'm not afraid to be lonely at the top. With me, it's just the satisfaction of the game. Just performance.

My career is an open book, but my life is not.

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.

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

I never stop looking for things to try and make myself better.
