I think when things linger, that's when they become a distraction. I don't want any distractions.

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

It's never over. You don't want to be in the position to be down four runs in the ninth inning, but it's not over until the last out.

That's how you win - pitching and defense.

I will never brag about myself, but my family, I can go on forever.

For me, when I was a kid, volunteering was the last thing I was thinking about. When I see kids doing it now, it amazes me. It's very impressive, it gives them something productive to do as opposed to getting in trouble. For them to take time out at such a young age is remarkable. I think all kids should take a little time out to volunteer.

You can't be sensitive, because you're going to get criticized. I don't care who you are, you're going to get criticized.
