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

People need to look at baseball like it has been sent from the heavens, and respect the game.

A lot of players go into a restaurant and ask for a special table. I go and stand in line with the working people. It's very easy to get spoiled playing professional sports.

I love Boston and I always will. I'll always have terrific memories and great fans here.

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

I play every game like it's going to be my last.

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