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'm no George Brett, and I probably never will be.

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

I don't understand some people, using biblical terms to criticize me when this is just a game.

The biggest thing I want is for the hitter coming up behind me to get a good pitch to hit.

There's not too many teams that can succeed on and off the field together.

My biggest adjustment has been learning not to be afraid to fail.
