I did everything I could to win every time I was handed the ball.

I've been able to do what I love and what I'm passionate about my entire life. I made, you know, an insane amount of money playing baseball.

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

It really is not that complicated, I just don’t understand HOW people don’t grasp the concept of ‘Free Market’, and why left alone, it WORKS!

I'm a very routine-oriented guy.

Have I said dumb things? Absolutely, who hasn't? But I have never backed away from being called out on something I did or said wrong.

I don't miss anything I did for a living.
