To me, the fun part of hitting is the thinking part. It's the game within the game.

Sure, finishing last has negative connotations. But finishing second-to-last or last is still losing.

I love being a Met. It was my favorite team growing up, so to be a Met to me is very special.

As soon as baseball becomes a job, as soon as I stop caring, as soon as the smile goes away, I'll hang up my spikes and do something else.

I'm very modest. I know that baseball is a very humbling game.

I take great pride in going out there and playing through pain.

I'm very confident in what I do, but I'd like to think I don't ever show any kind of cockiness or overconfidence.
