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

I hope what people learned from watching me is that just because you do things a little differently doesn't mean you can't do them just as well.

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.

In the 8th inning you can't hear the roar of the 9th, all you can do to hold yourself together, and trust.

I always wanted to be a shortstop so I could play more often!

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.

What's cool about baseball is you don't have to see someone for years, but when you see them, you just hustle up and give them a big hug. Those friendships endure.
