Most of my friends are people I've known since I was a kid. I don't have an entourage or anything.

When I first got to the majors in 2004, female fans held up signs asking me to marry them. Those girls today were what, 13, 14? I'm 23, but that's a little young even for me.

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

I just want to taste what it's like to win in New York

I’m always looking to improve. And every year I want to do better than the year before.

There's a lot more to playing in the big leagues in New York than just the baseball part.
