I don't like losing at anything. Why should I?

I just show up to the yard, work hard, and play as hard as I can.

I hope to play for the Red Sox a long time.

I go out and break my leg next year and can't play ever again, I got 40 million dollars. Nothing's guaranteed in this world, except that 40 million dollars.

Just because somebody swings one way and I swing another way doesn't mean he's better than me or I'm better than him ... Does my swing get hits? Yes.

I'm going to go out there and be who I am, and if you don't like it, then watch somebody else.

I just try to see the ball and hit it. If I get a hit, I get a hit. If I get out, I get out. There's no secret about it.
