We can change the lives of autistic children. We can make a difference. There are hundreds of families in Florida who can't afford the therapists.

I look at it this way. I'm not putting age limits on what I can do. As long as I can do the job to help the team win and feel like I'm playing at a high level, which I feel I can do for a long while, I'm going to play no matter what my age is.

The scoreboard can't make you a loser. If you walk off the field with your head up, you don't lose. You don't hang your head for nobody. People in the stands think you're the greatest or the worst - their opinion doesn't make a difference. The only opinion that makes any difference is your own opinion of yourself.

I know I've got to just keep throwing the ball. That's what I do best.

I think I'm going to be around awhile.

I just try to be myself, whatever that is. I don't think about how I'll be remembered. I just want to be consistent over a long period of time. That's what the great players do.

You get into feeling like you are in a zone. You can't be stopped. It's a good feeling but it never lasts.
