People, man, they love hurting people. It's not even fair.

Nobody is going to dictate our freedom.

You can never fall in love with a team.

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

I don't try to hit the ball 500 feet. It looks good when you hit it 500 feet, but as long as it goes over the fence, it's a home run. When you swing hard, it takes a little bit of recognition away from you. The power you're trying to increase - you're not all the way through it with your vision.

I'm an easy person to get along with. Even when I struggle, I have the same attitude.

I'm the kind of a player who, if you give me something good to hit, I'm going to swing at it. Otherwise, there's nothing else you can do.
