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

I've been on teams that lost a hundred games in a season. I've been on teams that had a shot to make the playoffs and fizzled out at the end.

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.

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

Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional.

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