One of the beautiful things about baseball is the history.

I want my career to be judged by what I did on the field. I appreciate the honors.

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

I still get a lot of letters from kids and parents who face different challenges and disabilities. I share some of the lessons that I learned through sports and baseball, which makes me feel good. It's incredible to have an impact that way.

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.

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

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