Be committed to whatever you're doing. That's something I've taken to heart and tried to do with whatever activities I take up.

I'm just trying to take what the defense gives me.

Strike one is a big, big pitch-you can do a lot after you get strike one, no matter how you get it.

I want to stand out. After my career is over, I want people to say, 'He was different.' It's not to be outrageous. I just want people to know that when I played ball, I was having fun.

No, we believed in ourselves all year. That's the position you want to be in.

I'm no Bob Gibson. I can tell you that.

I literally and truly don't care how many points I score. I get far more satisfaction out of doing the other things that make us winners.
