A lot of people write books not at the end of their career. Why you gotta wait until then? When you're momentum's going, that's when people really want to get to know about you.

I come to play everyday.

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

The fans know that I don't give at-bats away.

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

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.

I try to be as quiet as I can at the plate, but still aggressive.
