I just swing hard in case I hit it -- that's it.

My whole career, my swing has always been the most important thing to me. Even when I'm taking a shower, I work on my swing.

I showed people that it's not about guessing what people can do. It's about saying, 'Here, show me what you can do.'

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

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.

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

I'm just another player that comes in and comes out. Everybody's time is up at some point, I don't think that's my problem. I'm just going to keep on trying like I normally do.
