I'm just trying to work hard every day, trying to be a better player and one day, to be right there with them, one of those special hitters.

I know in my situation, my mind works more than everything else. I've been like that my whole career.

I just want to play baseball.

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.

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

All I like to do is work every day and have an idea what I want to do.

I never thought that buying supplements and vitamins, it was going to hurt anybody's feelings.
