What we really need is for me to get hot and stay hot. When I go, this team really takes off.

People have the right to say what they want, but as long as I can go to bed at night and look myself in the mirror, I'll be all right.

We all pulled together at the right time, unfortunately, we were down 3-0 to the Yankees when we decided to do it, but we did it. And we shocked the world.

I wouldn't mind being a hero to a kid. I grew up idolizing players, so I know how important that is for a lot of younger kids.

I want to be the best leadoff hitter of our time.

I take pride knowing that I hustle, day in and day out.

I went out as a free agent in Boston and had a great year and I priced myself out of there market, at the time.
