I was always compared to the Energizer Bunny in my consecutive game streak because every day I showed up and went to work and they said he keeps going and going and going, but a lot of people do that.

I take pride in the fact that you are able to make some good contributions to the sport at certain times.

I think Nick Markakis is a perennial All-Star, and nobody knows about him. I think people are learning about how good he is.

We consider ourselves the luckiest fans on the face of the Earth.

By far, the best moment of my big league career was when I caught the last out at the World Series.

I think the cloud of suspicion has been hanging over baseball for a while. I think there has been some positive things that have come out of that. There has been a drug test policy that was been implemented that got the blessings of both the Players Association and MLB. They are trying to maintain the integrity of this sport and trying to get it back, but that cloud I think will hang over a little longer.

As long as I can compete, I won't quit. Reaching three-thousand is not the finish line as long as I can contribute.
