Everybody goes through some tough times in their life, no matter what you do. Man, I've had my tough times.

I'm not thinking home run, I just want to put a good swing on the ball. When you go looking for home runs, you get off of your swing. So you don't think of homers when you go up to the plate.

My teammates are the best.

I'm a guy that people look at me not only as a guy that hit the ball.

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

Nobody is going to dictate our freedom.

I just come do what I've got to do, play my game. And I don't worry if anybody likes it.
