When I was in Kansas City everything was going well for me. My marriage was good and I was very successful in baseball but something was missing in my life. That something was Christ. Every human being is born with a little defect in his heart. That defect is a hole in the heart that can only be filled by Jesus Christ.

When you're close to your family, you want to be close to them.

My mom and dad gave me everything they could have given me.

I know there are a lot of expectations of me, and I will do the best I can.

I pray to God to be a great player, but I want to keep my life.

I don't want to be hiding from people. It would be difficult to be recognized everywhere, so that I couldn't do things ordinary people do.

I have more confidence than I ever have before.
