Really, it's not harder to train for them because once baseball starts you play everyday almost.

My confidence and drive to go play came when I realized how gifted I was at such a young age and how much bigger my build was than the kids my age.

The way strength and conditioning has helped me now is that I make it a point to go to the gym everyday if I can.

The only people I know getting in high places by running their mouth are politicians.

It is better to give a lick than receive one. If anybody got in my way, I tried to run right through them.

I've always played with kids that were five, six, seven years older than me.

I was always active - I went from baseball to football. I didn't have time to work out.
