Every dollar I can't commit to my company that's paid in taxes is paying a government that I believe is too big and doing way too much that I don't want done.

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

My father left me with a saying that I've carried my entire life and tried to pass on to our kids: 'Tough times don't last, tough people do,'

I've got a wife, four kids, a business, and a baseball career.

I don't pitch for contracts.

You could ask any position player and they'll tell you: pitchers aren't athletes.

So every dollar of income that I have that is potentially taxed away is a dollar I can't put in my company to create a job. My entire company is around job creation.
