You don't just accidentally show up in the World Series.

My grandmother asks me to race down the street, I'm going to try to beat her. And I'll probably enjoy it. Competitive to a fault, sometimes.

If you play well on the field, everything will take care of itself.

What kind of influence did my parents have on my life? Well, they had the most influence. These are the people who are closest to me. My parents are very positive people. They've been supportive. They're always there.

I like to hit the gym early in the morning. I feel better throughout the day when I get in a workout first thing in the morning.

When I was younger, I was always taught not to make excuses.

My parents always felt if I worked hard enough I could make any dream come true.
