I am much more of a geek than I am an athlete.

Before I pitch any game, from spring training to Game 7 of the World Series, I'm scared to death.

I've always wanted to be the best in the world as a baseball player, so when I started to think about opening a business, it was with that mindset.

I am human, when people write bad stuff about me it bothers me, but I know that will never end.

When you're having a bad day at work, a lot of times it's your head. When you're having good days, a lot of times it's the absence of the mind.

In this I-me society, my job is to get people to buy into something bigger than themselves.

The real world has consequences when you do and say things about others. We're at a point now where you better be sure who you're going after.
