All I like to do is work every day and have an idea what I want to do.

I've always been my own hitting coach.

Nobody is going to dictate our freedom.

I'm just trying to work hard every day, trying to be a better player and one day, to be right there with them, one of those special hitters.

I'm the kind of guy that I never forget my teammates.

I'm the same guy I've always been. I'm the same guy now as when I was hitting 50 home runs. I don't change.

Whatever country you go to, you need to definitely follow the rules. So I believe it's very important for people, wherever they go, any immigrant should know or should try to learn something about the culture.
