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.

The money I saved during baseball was probably all gone. I'm tapped out.

I was such a screwup when I got to the big leagues. I was a total idiot.

In baseball, I was always in control of everything until I let the ball go.

I don't pitch for contracts.

People love to say we get paid a lot of money to play a game, but it stopped being a game when you start getting paid.

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