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.

One of the beautiful things about baseball is the history.

I knew how far a little boy or girl could run with 50 words of reassurance.

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.

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 had an incredible experience living in New York, playing for the Yankees, to go through all of the things I did, including the no-hitter. It was a very memorable time.

It's not the disability that defines you; it's how you deal with the challenges the disability presents you with.
