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.

I like to be aggressive. I like to swing the bat.

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 have more confidence than I ever have before.

I like people talking about me, about my defense or what I'm doing. I like to see that, and that makes me work hard.

I learned that I have to work hard every day, that I can't get down if I get in a slump.
