Sportswriters are what make sports great and fun to watch.

The one thing I always said to myself was that when baseball started to feel more like a job, it would be time to move forward.

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.

Surround yourself with good people. People who are going to be honest with you and look out for your best interests.

You have to take the good with the bad. Some players only talk to the press when they are doing good. When you're doing bad you shouldn't shy away from them and when doing good, don't run up to them.

I like to dance and sing when there's no one around, but, if I'm out, I'm really shy about it. So it takes a lot to get me going, but I enjoy being around music.

Sneak out when things go good. It bothers me when people have good games and stand in front of their locker waiting for the media, then they have bad games and sneak out the back.
