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

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.

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.

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

The first time I picked up a bat in a professional game, I hit a ball hard left-handed, and my first home run was so effortless, it surprised me.

I'm at the point in my career where to be a winner is more important than any individual things.

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.
