I take positives out of negatives all the time.

I want to win a World Series. I couldn't care less about MVP.

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

Baseball is the reason I have my apartment, baseball is the reason I'm on the cover of video game. Baseball is what I do.

I take positives out of negatives all the time.

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

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.
