You just can't wake up out of bed and think you can figure out a gym. You definitely need some personal training.

I always took my workouts serious because I have a football background. I came from football, so when I got to baseball, I continued my football workouts in the offseason.

I always wanted to be the strongest man on the field. Most of the time, they said I was lifting too much but I didn't believe in that at all.

I just don't feel like I'm old. I still feel like I've got a lot of years, a lot to give in this game, and I'm able to do it because I love to work.

I take a lot of pitches. Some guys hate to do that.

I think the body responds to more reps better than heavier weight. As long as I got those reps in three or four sets, it didn't bother me and I could come down on the weight. Teams didn't want me to do it as much, but that's just the way it is.

As you get old, you live and learn.
