I want to be a traveling circus in that big-league uniform, like everybody else.

The sun shines on everybody. Youve got to keep believing.

I feel I let my team down today. My heart is bleeding for everybody else. I felt like I should have gotten it done today. That's how it is. Sometimes you do, sometimes you don't.

As far as the anxiety, I have no idea about it. I don't feel like I have any nervousness out there. I'm just a guy who really cares about being competitive and that's the bottom line.

I'm just a kid having fun.

I just want to say I owe the whole reds organization a great deal. Great staff top to bottom and I wish those guys all the best.

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.
