I played on teams with 24 guys pulling the rope one way and one guy pulling the other. I've seen how destructive it can be. I tell them, 'If 13 of you are insanely successful and one fails, we all lose.'

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

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

There's not a long track record of people leaving professional sports to become a software developer.

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

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

I've been called a lot of things. But never, and I mean never, could anyone ever make the mistake of calling me a Yankee fan.
