I just love the feeling from the fans and when I'm walking on deck I can hear people screaming and wishing you the best. That puts you into the game more than anything.

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

Trust me, I play the game for the fans, my family and myself.

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.

It doesn't matter if we are down 3-0. We just have got to keep the faith like that one piece you were saying in "Keep on Going," because the game is not over till the last out.

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

My teammates are the best.
