Find something you love, and go after it, with all of your heart.

I think my career will be remembered for what it was and what it is, and I don't need more than that.

I loved throwing a baseball. It is so important to find something in life you feel crazy about. Because you are so passionate you naturally practice. The hard work that it takes to do something well will come easily.

Never allow the circumstances of your life to become an excuse. People will allow you to do it. But I believe we have a personal obligation to make the most of the abilities we have.

I benefited from tremendous encouragement as a kid. So many people reached out to me, helped me, and believed in me even when I didn't always believe in myself.

One of the beautiful things about baseball is the history.

I believe that challenges can push us beyond what we might otherwise be able to accomplish.
