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.

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.

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

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

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

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.
