I don't feel right unless I have a sport to play or at least a way to work up a sweat.

I've tried a lot of things in the off-season, but the only thing I really know is baseball.

Can I smoke now without someone taking my picture?

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

I never smile when I have a bat in my hands. That's when you've got to be serious.

I looked for the same pitch my whole career, a breaking ball. All of the time. I never worried about the fastball. They couldn't throw it past me, none of them.

I need to depend on Someone who is bigger, stronger and wiser than I am. I don't do it on my own. God is my strength. He gave me a good body and some talent and the freedom to develop it. He helps me when things go wrong. He forgives me when I fall on my face. He lights the way.
