I have always loved the Bay Area. I spent a lot of time in the Bay Area. I started my career there. That's a huge part of the excitement for me.

When you go to other parks, they hang banners for the wild-card or Eastern Division or Western Division champions. Around here, they don't hang anything unless its for being world champions.

You don't get old being stupid.

Individual statistics, plate time and everything tend to come, but the most enjoyment I get out of baseball is actually winning.

I don't think much about whether fans will remember me.

My dad gave me a haircut... and it wasn't a very good one. When I went out of the house, my friends got on my case and said it looked like someone put a chili bowl over my head and cut around it.

You know, the other day I gave all of my old Angels gear to Goodwill...and Goodwill gave it back.
