I miss basketball every now and then.

The chance to go to the postseason, it's hard to pass up.

I want to be on that team that wins the world championship here in Chicago and sees the city go crazy.

Sometimes it's more fun to compete with your friends, because you can talk a little trash with them.

As a first baseman, hitting home runs is what's expected of me. But I don't really try to hit home runs.

I felt I was good in basketball but I wasn't a blue-chip prospect.

You just get better with age. You learn yourself and the league. I'm starting to understand more about hitting every year.
