Every day's a blessing, so I'm just out there throwing my best.
I love what I do. I'm appreciative and I'm still competitive. I still love baseball, but it doesn't consume me. If I can't do it anymore, then I go home and do something else. It's not the end of the world. It's just the end of your career.
I was nervous batting eighth, and I was nervous batting seventh.
I'm not a conventional guy. I've never been a conventional guy.
I'm trying not to get ahead of myself. I'm taking it one game at a time.
I hope that more [African-Americans] decide to play after seeing the things that I was able to accomplish; not only myself, but other African-American players. Hopefully, they pick up a bat and a ball and go out there and play.
