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.

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

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

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

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

I'm a very private person. My life story isn't for everybody.

When I finish playing, I think I'd like to coach college baseball.
