For me, I tend to sit back sometimes and just count my blessings because of how long I've played.

There are certain things I can't do, certain pitches I can't hit. You stay away from them. You try to wait for pitches you can hit. The bat speed isn't what it used to be. You make up for it by using your head, working counts, getting ahead in counts and getting pitches to hit and hitting them hard.

I've got a fastball, change-up, forkball, curve, slider, knuckle-slider, knuckle-curve, I had about seven pitches I could have used at any time.

You fool around with different pitches playing catch, but it's not the same when you've got to face some guy with a bat in his hand.

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

It's good to know you're working for someone you're familiar with, who's a friend and he has your back and you have his back also.

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