I'm a ballplayer, not an actor.
The test of an outfielder's skill comes when he has to go against the fence to make a catch.
We need a hit, so here I go.
A person always doing his or her best becomes a natural leader, just by example.
Baseball didn't really get into my blood until I knocked off that hitting streak. Getting a daily hit became more important to me than eating, drinking or sleeping.
The reason I play so hard is that somewhere out there is some kid who has never seen me play before, and I don't want to disappoint him.
