If you want to be on top, you've got to have broad shoulders, because as fast as you get there, the faster they try to knock you down.

I don't want to be a Major League coach.

I think everyone needs to be a role model, period.

Serra High school, to me, was my most enjoyable time for me in my entire life. That was the only time I was free. We just played baseball because it was fun.

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.

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

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.
