Maybe the day will come when I can sit back and be content....But until that day comes, I intend to stay in the batter's box - I don't let the big guys push me out of there anymore - and keep hammering away.

Last year, I was sort of a kid and I was a little scared, I ain't scared any more.

I am very proud to be an American. This country has so much potential, I'd just like to see things better, or whatever, and I think it will be.

If I knew exactly what I know now and had it to do over, I'd be a switch hitter. No telling what I could have done.

Guessing what the pitcher is going to throw is 80% of being a successful hitter. The other 20% is just execution.

In playing ball, and in life, a person occasionally gets the opportunity to do something great. When that time comes, only two things matter: being prepared to seize the moment and having the courage to take your best swing.

Consistency is what counts; you have to be able to do things over and over again.
