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

Baseball is just my job.

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.

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

But to be the best, you must face the best. And to overcome your fear, you must deal with the best.

I think some of the pressure comes from the expectations of other people. Like if your father played baseball, they expect you to be the big lifesaver or something when you play a sport.

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.
