I was always a little hesitant to accuse people of loading a bat to hit a ball farther. I was always very hesitant to approach people because I never had any evidence that I had firsthand knowledge of.

That's what I'd like to think that my reputation is - being honest.

As a member of a competitive team, you want to make sure you have yourself ready to play. You don't control anything but what you do.

Sometimes they say the world rotates a little different for lefthanders.

Baseball, while you're doing it, you think it's going to last forever.

I've been very, very fortunate. I never had to work for a living.

I can understand the fact you don't want the ball slipping out of a pitcher's hand because someone can get hurt.
