The no-hitter was the highlight of my career. The specialness of it, I didn't know how lasting it would be when it happened. Everywhere I go, people talk about that game, how exciting it was. That makes me very proud. I'm awfully happy that a ball didn't bloop in somewhere.

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.

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

I worked very hard. I felt I could play the game. The only thing that could stop me was myself.

Slowing it all down and analyzing our mental approach is a surprisingly effective way of becoming a better player.

It was always just trying to move to the next limit. I didn't think about making the major leagues - every kid has that dream, I had it, but when I was in Little League I just wanted to make the junior high team. When I was in junior high, I wanted to make the Varsity team.

The bible tells us to be grateful in every situation. I am grateful for mine.
