I'm a family man. I just love being around my family.

I just need to come to the park every day thinking something good is going to happen to me and hoping today is going to be the day.

I have more confidence than I ever have before.

Running after balls, diving, taking a home run away, it gives me such a good feeling. I am happy to do it.

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 was always thinking, 'One day I want to be like Bernie Williams.'

I used to think it would be neat to play my whole career with one team. But as a baseball player you want to come to the ballpark every day knowing you have a chance to win and that the games mean something.
