We'll probably only consider a handful of individuals. We'll bring up people who can accumulate either innings or at-bats, so we can hopefully gauge where they stand as a prospective Major Leaguer.

Through everything I've gone through- and I've been everywhere, at the top of the world, in jail, hung over drunk - I never gave up my dream of winning a gold medal in the Olympics.

It really means a lot that I won the gold medal - but I woke up the next morning expecting to feel different. I felt the same.

It's important for me to think I'm mixed-race.

You need to become more than one type of athlete. You have to be a sprinter, a weight man and a distance guy all in one.

There is nothing better than having a personal-best day, being in shape and pushing myself beyond my own limits.

I was a good decathlete until I got with a coach that really knew how to train specifically for the event... I'd really describe it as like being a juggler; you have ten balls and you're trying to get them all in the air at the same time.
