You are recognized by your bat. If you are the best hitting shortstop out there, that's how you win a Gold Glove. That's the way it is. It shouldn't be-it's a defensive award.

Hustle is just playing the game right.

I've got numbers in my head that I'd like to keep to myself. If I get them or pass them, only I will know.

Physical ability only goes so far. You have to work hard the rest of the way.

My role is to set everything in motion.

For me personally it doesn't matter who is the manager, I'm going to go out there and play for the manager, and play for this uniform as a team.

People think I must have all these superstitions, but I don't. I use my batting gloves 'til they wear out. I broke four or five bats during the streak, and I didn't cry over any of them.
