I'm very mechanical, so if I have one thing that's going in the wrong direction when I'm hitting, it's hard for me to get a hit.

I'm a winner, I play to win, I want to make good things go on around me.

My mom, she wasn't like a baseball mother who knew everything about the game. She just wanted me to be happy with what I was doing.

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.

Everybody has something to prove each year. Everybody has a responsibility in this game. Even the batboy.

This jersey that we're wearing today doesn't say Red Sox. It says Boston.

Through the years I've been getting better and better and better, and it's what you learn though the seasons.
