My parents always told me to stay away from trouble. When I moved away from them at a young age, I was fine because they taught me how to do everything right.

You don't get better as you get older in your career. It's not natural to have your best years late in your career. So I'm trying to do whatever I can to keep my body feeling good for as long as I can.

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.

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.

If I can't hit at a high level, I won't play, and I know there comes a point where my body won't be able to do that.

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